KCK Woman Arrested After Attempting to Evade Felony Warrant

A 41-year-old woman from Kansas City, Kansas, was arrested last Saturday, October 11, following a traffic stop in which she tried to conceal her identity from police officers.

According to Kearney Police, the incident began when officers pulled over a vehicle whose registered owner was wanted on a felony warrant out of Johnson County, Kansas. The female passenger closely resembled the wanted individual but repeatedly denied being her, even providing officers with a fake name and a Social Security number that did not match her identity. The number she gave was registered to a man, raising further suspicion among the officers.

Despite her persistent denials, the officers presented her with a booking photo from the Johnson County Jail taken just two months earlier. The photo clearly showed the woman's real name and confirmed her identity as the person sought in connection with a felony warrant.

Confronted with this evidence, the woman admitted to being the wanted individual. She was subsequently taken into custody without incident.

The felony warrant stemmed from her failure to appear in court for her third DUI offense, and she was being held on a $20,000 bond. Following her arrest, she was booked into the Clay County Detention Center, where she awaits extradition back to Kansas to face charges.
