Woman arrested following vehicle attack turned pursuit

(KAIR)--An Atchison woman faces charges following what police say was a pursuit from authorities following an altercation with a man.

Taken into custody in connection with the alleged crimes was 26-year-old Shanayla Stillman.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News Stillman’s alleged crimes occurred around 3:30 Thursday afternoon. “Officers responded to a domestic disturbance in the 1000 block of North 5th. When they arrived, they found that a 27-year-old male victim was reporting being a victim of aggravated battery by a 26-year-old female. [She] was leaving the scene in a Honda passenger car as our officers arrived. They attempted to stop that vehicle in the 1000 block of North 5th, but the vehicle fled. It was finally stopped in the 1100 block of Riley and [Stillman] was taken into custody.”

Neither Stillman or the victim lived at the location of the alleged altercation, but Wilson said the two knew each other prior to the occurrence. [The man] was outside the residence, in the 1000 block of North 5th, standing next to a vehicle when she arrive, apparently for a confrontation, because he attempted to get into a vehicle that was parked there. She then used her vehicle to pin him between the vehicle he was getting into and her vehicle.”

The man suffered no injuries.

Stillman was taken into custody on charges of aggravated battery, reckless driving, fleeing and attempting to elude, criminal damage to property, and possession of marijuana.

Following her arrest, Stillman was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
