Man's Wild Chase, Terrified Passenger

0:00A 29-year-old Kansas City man named Reginald Lampkin Jr. is locked up after leading cops on a wild 23-mile chase hitting one. 102 miles per hour, with a terrified woman passenger trapped inside begging to get out. It kicked off around 2.25 a.m. on Monday, April 20th, when Liberty Police spotted him blow a red light and a white Mazda and nearly. Mashed into another car. He slowed like he might pull over, then floored it for a 13-minute run through Liberty, Kansas City and Riverside, dodging stopsticks and weaving all over the road. The woman had just met him at a bar after losing her friends and hopped in for a ride. But when sirens hit, he told her he wasn't stopping. She screamed for him to let her out, even called her sister mid chase, but he kept going, saying if he hit Kansas, they'd be safe. Talk about a... nightmare ride. Cops finally pinned him near the Missouri Kansas line on Interstate 635. He ditched the car, bolted across traffic and a construction. Zone, ignored commands and got taste to the ground.

1:05They found weed and booze in the vehicle, too. Prosecutors hit him with felony aggravated fleeing, which could mean up to 7 years and $10,000 in fines. No kidnapping charge, though. With a revoked license past DWIs and $100,000 bond, he's sitting in Clay County jail waiting for his hearing on Tuesday, April 28th, hoping the judge doesn't drop the hammer.
