CLAY COUNTY, Mo. – A Missouri police chase ended with an ironic twist last weekend: In a yard marked by a sign that read, “Presented by: F*** Around and Find Out.”
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office reports that the chase led to the arrest of Eric E. Frazer, 53, a suspect wanted for drug trafficking.
The chase occurred around 2 p.m. Saturday on Jesse James Farm Road near Missouri Route 92.
Authorities attempted to arrest Frazer on a warrant for drug trafficking when he allegedly fled from Clay County deputies.
The sheriff’s office says, at one point, Frazer swerved toward one a deputy who was attempting to deploy a spike strip. Frazer eventually struck another spike strip and came to a stop in the 16800 block of Ragsdale Road, leading to his arrest in the yard with the now-infamous sign.
Turns out, based on investigator accounts, someone ran and quite literally found out.
The Clay County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has charged Frazer with one count of aggravated fleeing a stop or detention. The charge falls under Missouri’s Valentine’s Law, which took effect last year and imposes stricter penalties on individuals who flee from police.
Clay County is located roughly half an hour north of Kansas City.
