Kansas City – A 19-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man have been charged following a dramatic high-speed police chase that occurred in late August. Savannah Landers and Cyvauodis D. Brewer are currently in custody facing multiple serious charges after fleeing from police and allegedly firing weapons at officers.
Landers faces multiple charges that include:

The high-speed chase began when an Independence, Mo. police officer attempted to stop the white Ford Escape driven by Landers for speeding in Sugar Creek. The vehicle then fled the scene, reportedly reaching speeds of up to 97 miles per hour while driving into oncoming traffic on Truman Road.
During the pursuit, Brewer, a passenger in the vehicle, reportedly fired shots towards the pursuing officer. The chase concluded when the Ford Escape hit a curb and became disabled. Landers attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended shortly thereafter. Law enforcement recovered two handguns and methamphetamine from the vehicle.
A subsequent police interview revealed that Brewer admitted to firing shots into the air, although investigators later discovered multiple bullet strikes on the back of the Ford Escape which contradicts his statement. Authorities identified Landers as the driver of the vehicle and Brewer as the passenger. According to online jail records, Brewer is being held on a bond set at $500,000 while Landers has a bond of $250,000.
