Driver Chases Car After Falling Out

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Opening up your door while driving isn't a good idea, especially on a busy highway.

Robbin Doolin, 31, of the Kansas City suburb of Grandview, learned that Friday morning when she leaned out her fast-moving car to spit.

She went tumbling out onto U.S. 71 in Kansas City, and to the amazement of other drivers, she hopped up and chased her car as it careened down an embankment toward a construction site.

Doolin was recovering Friday night at a hospital, where she was treated for injuries to her leg, arm and head.

"It's certainly not prudent to open your car door on a highway, especially when you're not wearing a seat belt," said Capt. Rich Lockhart, a police spokesman.

Lockhart said the woman was embarrassed about the accident. Her explanation to officers: "I leaned out to spit and I leaned too far."

Never commit a crime on live TV. I thought *everybody* knew that!

Would-Be Robbers Caught on Shopping Show

FORT SMITH, Ark. (AP) - Viewers of a late-night cable TV program called police when they realized that instead of "Shopping Mania" they were hearing an attempted robbery. Two men were later arrested.

Gary Spirito, who runs the auction program out of a rented warehouse, said viewers heard the robbers off camera demanding the keys to a car after they invaded the building late Thursday. The viewers caught a glimpse of at least one of them as they left, Spirito said.

"We were on air and talking to the folks out there, and then I heard a noise and there was a man there pointing a gun at us, me and the other operator," Spirito said.

"We had a computer screen up at the time showing the bids, but (the viewers) could hear the audio."

The men fled when police were summoned by viewers, but officers caught up with the two suspects. Eddie Crisp Jr., 23, and Timothy Suggs, 22, were both on parole for prior theft and other convictions, said police spokesman Sgt. Jarrard Copeland.

At the time the show was interrupted, viewers were bidding on a tent, a Dale Earnhardt Jr. blanket, metal candle holders and other items, Spirito said. But neither man seemed interested in getting anything but a vehicle.

"They came to get a car from us. They didn't ask for anything else," he said. "He said, 'Give me your car keys.' And I said 'Well, they're out there in the car.'" Copeland said police believe the two also tried to rob a car lot about an hour before they walked into the "Shopping Mania" warehouse. At Legacy Motors, two men with a gun threatened an employee and the employee fled, he said.
