An Independence, Missouri man faces several charges after two motorcyclists were killed during a police chase involving a stolen vehicle Wednesday. Melvin T. Brown, 26, has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder, resisting arrest, leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, and first-degree vehicle tampering in connection with the Wednesday night incident that wound through the city.Two motorcyclists were killed late Wednesday night after their bike was struck by a stolen vehicle fleeing from Independence police. Independence police spotted a stolen Jeep at a home near E. 29th Street and Sante Fe Road. The driver fled from police when he saw police officers in the area setting up stop sticks as another officer surveilled the driver. The driver of the Jeep reportedly swerved at vehicles, including a police car, during a high-speed chance that wound through multiple areas of the city. At one point, the suspect's vehicle struck a motorcycle that was not involved in a pursuit. The two motorcyclists on the bike died, according to police. Probable cause documents in this case have identified the victims as Jake Jackson Monteer, 41, and Jessica Marie Fields, 40. After the wreck involving the motorcycle, and the chase going the wrong way down several busy roadways, including on Interstate 70, the decision was made to disable the Jeep while it was driving. While traveling southbound on Lee's Summit Road from I-70, an officer was able to use a technique involving striking the vehicle to stop it, which caused the Jeep to roll. Police noted the driver was still continuing to attempt to drive away, so an officer pushed the suspect vehicle into the side of a patrol car to stop it. After Brown was taken into custody, and taken to an area hospital for treatment of two broken arms, police noted the Jeep had been broken into in several places. Two screwdrivers were found in the driver's seat of the vehicle, and had been used to start the Jeep, which had a noticeably broken ignition. The rear vent window on the driver's side had been broken out, then taped over to cover where the glass had been. Documents show police on the scene were able to identify the Jeep as stolen off of Prairie View Road in Kansas City on March 17. Police noted in documents that Brown appeared impaired. A blood sample taken with a search warrant came back with initial results including amphetamine, methamphetamine, and cannabinoids. Police said a baggie containing three blue "M30" pills were found in the suspect's pants. Those were believed to be a narcotic, possibly fentanyl. Police also noted finding a bag of a "crystal substance" that tested positive in the field for meth. Prosecutors have requested a $300,000 bond in this case.
