Ralph Richmond is charged with stealing a car, resisting arrest and drug possession after the chase Tuesday night that ended at I-35 and Front Street when the suspect crashed the stolen car into a semi truck. Prosecutors say he stole the 2005 Ford Mustang Tuesday morning from Edwardo Fierro, whose sister recognized his car from FOX 4's live coverage of the chase. Fierro says just before noon Tuesday, Richmond drove up beside him and began asking him questions about his car. The next thing Fierro knew, Richmond had pulled a gun on him to steal his car. And I looked up and I seen a gun like sticking out the window and I didn`t know really what to do," Fierro said. He said he felt like he was "at the wrong place at the wrong time," and a car wasn't worth his life, so he got out. Several hours later, when police spotted the stolen Mustang, prosecutors say he took off, speeding through stop signs, red lights and even driving into oncoming traffic at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour before he wrecked off the I-35 exit ramp... According to court records, this is the sixth time in the past eight months that Richmond has been charged with similar crimes of stealing cars, possessing drugs and running from cops. He shouldn`t have as many chances as he did," Fierro said. Source: fox4kc.com
