OCALA, Fla. (CohenConnect) – The lives of two police officers called to investigate a suspicious person at the First Assembly of God Christian School were reportedly on the line at the end of a chase, more than seven miles away.
The officers in Florida on Sept. 22 saw Linda Parker Vaughn standing outside the driver door of a red Ford SUV, so they got out of their patrol vehicle to talk to her, but the arrest report said, “She quickly entered her vehicle and accelerated east.”
Then, “Vaughn almost immediately swerved towards an occupied pickup truck before swerving away from it and continuing east.
“Vaughn then failed to stop when turning south,” and later ran a red light.
When approaching another intersection, “Vaughn began to swerve recklessly in both eastbound lanes while approaching stopped vehicles.
“Vaughn then ran the red light [and] while doing so, Vaughn appeared to intentionally swerve into the westbound lanes, towards a pedestrian who was traveling north in the eastern crosswalk.
