Hennessey Police Department incident reports
May 26 — Officer Matthew Bruner was running radar at West Jack Choate Avenue and Cemetery Road facing east into town at 11:22 p.m. when he saw a pickup truck followed by a gray car both traveling at high rates of speed, according to his report.
He activated his emergency lights at the stop sign at Main Street when the driver of the car drove around the truck through the flashing red lights/stop sign. The car proceeded south on Main Street. Bruner activated the siren, but the car didn’t stop and he chased it through downtown until it stopped in the 900 block of South Main Street.
The driver got out of the car and Bruner’s report said she ignored his vocal commands to stop. He told her if she didn’t stop that she’d be placed under arrest. She said, “I don’t care,” the officer’s report shows.
The officer then called for a back-up officer and later Reserve Captain Bryan Burch arrived on the scene.
Bruner wrote that after the woman calmed down, she admitted to all the offenses so that her boyfriend in the truck “wouldn’t be pulled over.”
She committed the offenses “out of love for her boyfriend,” she told police, the report shows.
Her citations totaled $1,032 and were for speeding 16-20 mph over limit, improper passing, failure to stop at stop sign, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle and expired driver license.

The 37-year-old woman told police she tried to call 911.
“He started to try to break my car door,” the reports show. When she got out of the car and tried to call police “he grabbed my phone and keys and threw them and started hitting me in the face,” according to the report.
