Cops Say Handcuffed Car Chase Suspect Steals Police SUV, Starts 2nd Car Chase
A man in Texas is facing multiple charges after authorities say he led police in two high-speed pursuits in one night — including one in which he was handcuffed. According to a report by Fox 4 News Grand Prairie, the man was arrested for allegedly stealing a Cadillac; then, while handcuffed in the back of a police SUV, he stole that vehicle — and the second pursuit began. According to authorities, 22-year-old Kendral Pickett was driving a stolen Cadillac on Interstate 20 in Grande Prairie, Texas; police were called when motorists spotted the car driving erratically and without headlights. ABC 8 Dallas reports that the Cadillac crashed during a pursuit that reached speeds of 100 mph, at which point Pickett fled on foot before eventually being tracked down by a police K-9 unit and arrested. Police say Pickett, who suffered minor injuries during the arrest, was handcuffed and placed in the back of a Chevrolet Tahoe patrol vehicle while awaiting medical treatment. However, the Tahoe did not have a partition between the front and rear seats — so authorities say the suspect managed to wiggle the handcuffs in front of his body, climb behind the wheel of the police SUV and speed away, sparking chase number two of the evening. According to authorities, Pickett reached speeds of 100 mph behind the wheel of the Grand Prairie patrol vehicle before police deployed spike strips, causing the suspect to lose control of the SUV, which rolled down an embankment. Pickett reportedly suffered minor injuries in this second pursuit and left the scene in an ambulance. Pickett now faces two counts of theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of evading arrest, one count of escape while arrested and assault on a public servant. A second suspect, whose name has not yet been released, was also arrested. You Might Also Like You Need a Torque Wrench in Your Toolbox Tested: Best Car Interior Cleaners The Man Who Signs Every Car

Federal machine gun charges linked to shootings at Wayzata, Burnsville graduations
Federal machine gun charges linked to shootings at Wayzata, Burnsville graduations originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Two men connected to shootings at separate graduation ceremonies in the Twin Cities in recent weeks are now facing federal charges. Hamza Abdirashiid Said, 20, and Amiir Mawlid Ali, 18, were charged on Wednesday with unlawfully possessing machine guns following shootings at ceremonies for Wayzata High School and Burnsville High School a little over a week apart. Said has already been charged with state level crimes including 1st-degree assault after the May 30 incident outside the Wayzata graduation ceremony at the University of Minnesota Mariucci Arena, which saw two attendees sustain gunshot wounds at what authorities describe as a "chaotic scene." The U.S. Attorney's Office of Minnesota says police recovered a 9mm semiautomatic pistol "with a high-capacity extended magazine and a machine gun conversion device." These devices, known as a "switch," turn semi-automatic handguns "into fully automatic machine guns." Ali was among those arrested at the scene of the shooting after the Burnsville graduation ceremony on June 6. He is now charged for machine gun possession, but it relates to a discovery made by police three days earlier on June 3, when Ali was allegedly the front passenger in a vehicle that "accelerated aggressively" and failed to stop at an intersection. The allegations state that under Ali's seat was a Glock was equipped with a "loaded 33-round extended magazine and a machine gun conversion device." "Ali and the two other people in the car said they were heading to the Edina High School graduation ceremony at the University of Minnesota," the U.S. Attorney's Office says. Ali, who was allegedly known to police as being associated with "multiple recent gang-related shootings," was taken into custody, but was released on June 5 without charge. The allegations claim that in recorded jail calls, Ali said he would need a "button" upon his release, which prosecutors claim is slang for a switch. He was arrested on June 6 when shots were fired from a vehicle 30 minutes after the conclusion of the Burnsville ceremony. The extent of his involvement in the shooting isn't clear at this time, with two other men charged with assault and drive-by shooting in connection with the incident. "High school graduation ceremonies are a rite of passage. A time for friends and family to come together to celebrate one of life's major milestones. To bring machine guns and violence to such a ceremony is immoral and shameful," said Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson. "On behalf of all Minnesotans, I want to express a sense of moral outrage at these crimes and assure the public that the perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
