February 5, 2020 Two people are in custody after a car drove through the barricades and led police on a slow-speed chase along the parade route lined with fans.
"Police used a number of tactics and maneuvers including stop sticks to stop the driver," Kansas City mayor Quinton Lucas
said just after the incident occurred. "Police investigated the vehicle and found no weapons or any threat of danger and took the driver and passenger into custody."
Appreciate the quick action of the @kcpolice ending a chase of a suspected impaired driver at the parade route. We’ll stay vigilant about the threats like these throughout the day. #KCMO #KCPD

February 5, 2020 "The entirety of the parade route was secured," he continued. "I think we were incredibly ready for the situation. Crowds are now cheering officers along the way, so we have even more heroes to celebrate today."
