Cape Girardeau man arrested after 70 mph chase through residential area

So people do 50 or 60 through neighborhoods all the time, does cape even have traffic cops anymore. Lawlessness starts with small infractions and build to big ones, thanks for letting us down cape pd!!

It's been years since I saw a police car cruise my neighborhood. Sitting at the old Winks, or down the hill in any direction, could fill the quota for the month!

If the university would give back the $600,000.00 a year back to Cape, maybe there would be money for police cruise neighborhoods. I still am shocked the city council would do something this foolish. They need a reality check. If they feel so strongly about giving our money to the university when we need money for law enforcement maybe they need to have a direct deposit from their individual paychecks to the university.

Wonder what the the guy had in his truck...

The cops stopped a speeder who turn out to be thug we don't need in Cape and is now charged with a felony. Isn't that a good thing?

You don't run if your just speeding.

IF it's the same person on Missouri Case Net he has a history of traffic violations for the past 6 years.

So he drives 70 MPH in a residential neighborhood, has numerous traffic/speeding violations in Cape, St. Louis and St. Charles and he gets $50,000 bond?

I guess if he would have killed someone in the house he crashed into it would be different. Neither scenario changes his 70MPH driving.

How does he maintain a drivers license with a record like this?

Yep, witnessed here with my oft-cited not-favorite rental dumpster filled with deplorables, 15 LEO & Fire visits within 2 years, vehicle driven without tags for 6 months, disturbing the peace, coupla grass violations, trash violation, multiple excessive-sized gatherings (20-40 folks piled in), 10-12 piled into a small 3 bedroom house with their six vehicles all over the place, and numerous other problems, progressing uncorrected on up into murder, special victim assault, major animal abuse x 2, and felony weapons.

Only when they quit paying rent, did the property mangler finally get involved, escaping the situation while retaining most-all his cash-to-date.

Unsuccessful here pushing for the chronic nuisance path (seriously?), still being rented out to different set of undesirable bottom of the barrel scrapings, with another rental on the block now moving up in hot pursuit to surpass previous sorry performances, being cited by another homeowner as the reason they decided to cut bait and relocate elsewhere for their safety.

Suggest if the rental business had done their jobs beyond just the manure spreading and check collecting, those minor on into major events might not have happened or not happened in Cape, thus reducing the workload for the City being forced to pick up the slack and reduce the stress for many others affected.

Heheh, perhaps giving the dude too much credit that he even has one. :-)

The police department in Cape is over 76 employee strong. This is above average for cities our size. Often makes me wonder why I don't see more officers on the streets. Also makes me wonder why so many ordinances are not being enforced! When a patrolman while patrolling would simply radio the nuisance department when he or she sees serious infractions something just might get done. Citizens also need to do their part by flooding the departments phone with complaints. This being said, police chases are never safe in town not any town. We have the resources and the employee's to do a better job here in Cape. Time to get after it!

Law enforcement always say if you see something say something.

Law enforement: If you see something, DO SOMETHING.
