    Now this is something. Ended up taking a nap and woke up to head over to pu my next load before shutting down and whole Loves is locked down by over 20 cop cars.

    All of them were holding assault rifles. Don't know ehat was going on but they all seemed to be getting ready to go. 20220625_074914.jpg

    I hope they were rescuing trafficked victims and taking down traffickers.

    They have the whole place still on lock down. Even the road going in/out of here blocked off.

    They did open the exit for those of us that want out some units still had rifles pointed to the trucks.

    My guess, cause I got the hek out of there and didn't ask questions is the red truck they are all surrounding is the target.

    Who knows, I for one was not about to be in the middle of a shoot out. The trucks directly in front have it the worst cause they can't leave due to all the police and the cops at the fuel lanes had rifles aimed in their direction.

    Can you imagine waking up from a nap and the moment you open your curtains you see a swarm of police with rifles all around you?

    For a second I thought they were taking this whole DOT inspection real seriously and inspecting everyone at once. Once my head cleared enough I noticed some drivers get the go ahead to leave so just followed them.

    This whole lockdown must of just started cause the cops on the street blocking the road leading to the Loves were just starting to put flares down.

    Sucks for those who maybe were coming in to fuel or get a bite to eat cause they had to keep on going and find a place to turn around to get back on freeway.

    WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - A 39-year-old Colorado woman was arrested after leading authorities on a three-county chase through eastern Kansas.

    As deputies were attempting to arrest Rebecca Estrada during a traffic stop on I-35 at mile marker 135 Saturday morning, Estrada resisted and fled in her Ford Expedition. The pursuit continued through Coffey, Osage and Franklin Counties before ending at a Love’s truck stop in Ottawa following a three-and-a-half-hour standoff.

    Estrada was taken into custody by the Ottawa Police Department and Franklin County Sheriff’s office with pending charges of aggravated battery on law enforcement, aggravated assault on law enforcement and traffic charges. Charges are pending through the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office of felony flee and elude and numerous traffic offenses.

    The Kansas Highway Patrol was among the agencies assisting during the standoff.
