Cops led fatal chase over car's paper tag. Body cam raises questions about why.
CREEK COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, JUN 25 – A 36-year-old mother and her passenger died after a high-speed chase over a paper tag led to a police maneuver causing a crash, amid false officer reports and policy concerns.
- On the night of November 25, 2024, a high-speed pursuit in rural Creek County ended with an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper intentionally crashing Crystal Marie Price's car, killing her and passenger Dario Hendrix.
- The chase began over a disputed paper license plate, with Mannford police having Price's information and the option to seek an arrest warrant but pursuing her instead at high speeds for 36 minutes.
- Body-Cam footage disproved officers' false claims that Price swerved at them or tried to hit them, contradicting official reports by officers Stacks and Harrison who misled colleagues about her actions.
- Since 2016, Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers have intentionally struck or spun out at least six fleeing vehicles, resulting in nine deaths, none of which involved violent crimes according to investigation data.
- The incident has sparked grief and calls for transparency from Price's family, while officials including Mannford police reported no disciplinary actions and state leaders declined to answer questions about pursuit practices.
