According to kfvs12.com, In Cape Girardeau, a dramatic police chase unfolded after a traffic stop in the early hours of Wednesday morning, involving the Cape Girardeau Police Department. The incident began when an officer from the Cape Girardeau Police Department tried to pull over a vehicle for a traffic violation around 2 a.m. near N. Lorimier Street and Themis St. However, instead of complying with the stop, the driver opted to flee, initiating a high-speed pursuit that spanned several blocks.
