Car Chase in N. Austin last night?
- May. 8th, 2008 at 3:17 PM
Anyone know what happened there? I saw dozens of cops going in EVERY direction, passed by the crash and heard on the radio that the wreck and resulting traffic jam was the end result of the car chase. A search of today's local news sources turned up NADA! Anyone gotta clue?

srsly though, that's kind of odd.
We are at war with Oceania. We have always been at war with Oceania.
However, I have no information about that except what I heard on the traffic report, that it was a police chase that ended in a crash.

Two people are behind bars after a wild chase through the streets of Austin Wednesday evening.
Police say Jeffrey Cook and his ex-girlfriend Laura Sawyer led them on a pursuit through North Austin.
Police were trying to serve Cook with a federal warrant for drugs and weapons. They spotted him leaving his house and tried to stop him on Interstate 35 when the chase started.
Cook ran from police and held another woman against her will after busting into her apartment until Sawyer could arrive.
They raced down Lamar Boulevard and Parmer Lane, where Sawyer’s car crashed into a parked 18-wheeler and a car. That driver was sent to the hospital with minor injuries.
Police stopped the couple at Parmer and Interstate 35 and arrested them.
“No matter how good a job the supervisor does making the decision whether to terminate that pursuit or not, the pursuit is dangerous and bad things can happen and we recognize that. Luckily, in this case the two collisions that occurred were relatively minor,” Phil Crochett with APD said.
Cook faces evading arrest, unlawful restraint and aggravated robbery charges. Sawyer is charged with evading arrest, hindering apprehension and failure to stop and render aid. Neither has posted bond.
