Incident #1704
Kansas Couple Reportedly Stopped Twice in Kansas and Oklahoma After Flock Safety Alerts Linked Their Plate Number to a Stolen Vehicle
Description
Matthew and Leah Spurlock were reportedly stopped in Colwich, Kansas, and about a month later in Catoosa, Oklahoma, after Flock Safety cameras associated their KU alumni plate 7007 with a stolen GMC pickup bearing a temporary Kansas tag with the same number. Colwich police quickly resolved the first stop; in Catoosa, the couple said officers drew guns and handcuffed Matthew. Wichita police said Flock reads plate characters but not plate type.
