An Emporia woman accused of leading a short chase after allegedly accosting a security guard back in April appeared in Lyon County District Court Thursday.
49-year-old Jennifer Suzanne Fisher waived her right to a preliminary hearing and is now set for a plea hearing later this month. Fisher’s defense counsel also made a request to modify her bond to not allow her to leave the state, rather than Lyon County as it originally stated.
The request was approved by Judge Merlin Wheeler.
Fisher is accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threat and flee and elude, with an alternate flee and elude count also filed.
Officers were called to the Burger King parking lot April 18 after a report a woman driving a rental truck had pulled a knife against another person. Fisher was found at the Walmart parking lot and allegedly drove away from officers towards John North Ford, where she crashed and was captured.
Fisher also allegedly pulled a knife and pointed it at a security guard at Hostess before the chase began.
Fisher’s plea hearing is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 26 at 9:30 am in front of Judge Wheeler.
