TOSCHA FAY SPONSLER: Texas Woman on ESCAPING Police Custody & STEALING Their Car 101 ... "90 MPH Girl ... I Can See You Had Your FUN!!" {:-) ... (LADIES a Lil on the HOT & SPICY side PT.9)- (DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE? PT.11)

Texas Woman Steals Police Car Then Crashes It During Chase ... Thanx to PoliceActivity



This posting will be for both "LADIES a Lil on the HOT & SPICY side" and "Defensive Driving Course?" series of this journal/ blog. This happened in Lufkin Texas, the video above is a sort of instructional video I figured, to highlight as a lesson for those evading police as well as the police themselves, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh {:-) Lufkin is kind of a sleepy town besides the annual Zombie Walk and a few local festivities, a town of about 35,000 down in the woods of Deep East Texas. Toscha Fay! ... what can I say? ... some look at what Toscha did as dumb ... but I have to grade her with an "A" for effort, and you have balls ... and even declined medical care after your crash, you pulled through good! Cops pulled a "PIT" maneuver (pursuit intervention technique) on her after about a 23 mile chase of multiple agencies at speeds of up to 100 mph, causing her to lose control and crash. She gave you boyz a run for your money, eh? ... good to see you boyz get a little action. {:-) Toscha took her shot because she has other cases and knew she was going down anywayz, may as well go for the gusto, in other words, eh? ... I mean, she got out of her cuffs, the unit cage wasnt in place, so why not take the vehicle and book? Although, it would have been better just to take the petty theft case and go down (jail), then they would bundle/ consolidate your pending cases of whatever with it, and make a flat deal/ bargain ... now you have more serious charges and case. In the old dayz it was easier to make a getaway, and even jumping bond after ... you could move a half a dozen state lines, cross into Canada or Mexico ... stay on the low/ incognito for the 7 year or so statute of limitations, and you're good to go ... today, different ballgame. I like your style Toscha, reminds me of the old dayz in a way, you're a class act girl! {:-) The Ulta Beauty store called the cops because of shoplifting on Toscha, and credit to her for keeping up with her beauty cosmetics needs.

But Toscha has a handful of felonies now on her, including evading, escape, car theft, using the car as a weapon, and assault on an officer ... when cops were going through her bags to get stolen goods, they also found a little methamphetamine, so that's another felony. Police say they seen her trying to grab the shotgun in the unit while driving, that is mechanically locked in place ... that wont hold in court though, basically supposition. Surprising to me, her total bond is only $18,000 ... which means you need at least $2000 cash to get bonded, and the bail joint will also want property collateral, since they will flag you as a flight risk. Toscha also has quite a lengthy prior record from what I seen ... let me just say, she's been a busy young lady, and leave it there. Here's the bottom line (of course taking priors in consideration) as far as the legal end ... you're gonna have to do some time on this girl. And it's the best way to go, they're going to shoot at minimal for 4 to 20 opening (and you dont want a jury trial on a case like this in f'n Angelina County, trust me), plus the prosecution is going to push the "habitual" card due to priors. Take a plea between 2 to 10 is okay, in 2 or 3 bids ... decline and negotiate, work the clock in other words, try to get it where you can do a couple years and walk, you can on 5 to 10, that's your best shot. You dont want even a lengthy probation ... because frankly, it may be difficult to do it on paper (probation) and reporting, UA's, etc ... without catching another case/ violation. Other than that ... I wish Toscha the best on her cases, and hope she gets her shit together after all is done. The official newsread below from Lufkin Daily News, and a closing song/ video dedicated to Toscha below.


Word Out ....




***** LUFKIN DAILY NEWS: Lufkin police release video of pursuit involving stolen patrol vehicle ... (newsread)




***** UPDATE (04/ 08/ 19)- LUFKIN DAILY NEWS : Joyrider gets 45 years in prison ... (newsread) **** Thanx to a person that left a comment, this is an update on Toscha, Hell, she got convicted over a year ago. She certainly should appeal this, too much time ... but that's a long story how that happened too. She is currently doing time in Marlin, Texas, it's about 1.5 hours south of Dallas, I been there a few times in past visiting.

I wanted to dedicate this song to Toscha. "Crosstown Traffic" is a 1968 classic originally by Jimi Hendrix with fitting lyrics that also inspired part of the postings title. It's covered below by Hayley Richman  ... an impressive upcoming vocalist/ songwriter out of Montreal, Quebec. This will also be added to the "RCJ MUSIC/ ARTS HONOUR ROLL SOCIETY".

That's a dramatic video -- and it looks to me like the cops may be partly at fault due to incompetence. Surely handcuffs aren't supposed to be that easy to escape. And there was no barrier stopping a prisoner from getting access to the front (seems dangerous since even a handcuffed prisoner might try to attack the driver while the car is moving). And there were several cops there but apparently nobody was watching her. And nobody even took the keys out of the car? Yeesh.

Any particular reason why you wouldn't want a jury trial in a case like this? Does the county have a lot of car-chase fans?

Maybe the next zombie walk can have walkers with simulated car-crash injuries as tribute.

Ranch Chimp said...

Yes, definitely Infidel, and good you noticed that ... that is why I called it a "lesson" video for cops too. Put it this way, they fucked up big- time, yep, the keys too ... distracted getting so excited on what they will find in her bags to greedily get more points/ charges, the search part bit them in the ass, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh {:-) If you noticed, one cop DID look into the vehicle, but she was sharp and stood still, even though her cuffs were off, she could see him through the side of her eyes, she knew when to make her move. The cage has a panel to lock in place, but the officer didnt use it. This is a sleepy type community compared to the city ... basic shoplifting cases/ petty thefts, minor drug possession, DUI's, warrant stops, etc ... they never have any problems, folks take their bust and would never pull a stunt like that, cops know that, it's a more friendly laid back setting than the city.

As far as the jury deal ... no way "in her case", I would want a jury trial (despite how people do like car chases and their vehicles). Too small and straight laced type town, they're going to have a "majority" pool (at least 70%) of jurors that are upstanding American and Texas flag on pick up bumper types, church goers, etc. The prosecution will paint her past and pending cases, and intertwine a lengthy history, many of the jury folks will look at this gal as "trailer trash", disrespectful to law and order, a druggie, moral turpitude, etc ... even if they didnt initially think that way coming in to the jury. By the time the prosecution makes their closing arguments, there will be less room for sympathy. I would (again, in her particular case) want to negotiate without a jury a plea or no contest bargain, turn down the first couple offers and work the clock and bargaining down. As a defendant, my defense wouldnt have much to play a hand with in a trial, and the length of the trial would work against me, because of the compelling audio/ video evidence, and it makes my case open and shut to a jury assessing it all. Courts are busy, time is money, trials cost the state/ county, cases backlog ... prosecution wants a conviction the easiest possible way, and the court wants to move things through as quickly as possible ... you dont have a murder or complex case ... you give something for something in return, and everyone is happy. The state gets their conviction and you get a reduction in punishment, if that makes sense? (hard to put in in few words) ... to paint a picture.

Thanx for you voice on this ....

She rejected a plea deal that would've given her 16 years......jury wound up giving her 45 years.

Ranch Chimp said...

UNKNOWN: Thank You much ... I was just thinking about her the other day too ... I will need to look into that, see what unit she goes to, and maybe drop her a line (US Mail). No doubt, she should have took the 16 (with mild negotiating), and show interest/ enthusiasm on the bid, while trying to knock off a couple more years on a follow up bid. If this is so (haven't read up on it yet) ... she maybe would have done about a nickel (5 yrs), because of all the credits that are offered in TDCJ. This was my whole point on how I was pointing out to work the clock on the prosecution, and negotiate the first bids down. Because, to take a bundle of cases like this to a jury in a town like that, they will impose a sentence on each individual count to maximize time. Again ... Thanx ....

She tried to appeal. https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/twelfth-court-of-appeals/2018/12-18-00075-cr.html
'Do not publish' Uhuh..

Ranch Chimp said...

Anon: Thank You for the link ....

Anonymous said...

Thanks for the response Ranch. And yeah, plea deal is, well, hindsight. You talk about 5 yrs, because of credits. Would this do any good on a longer sentence as well?

Ranch Chimp said...

Hey Anon: Good question, and a challenge. Here's the deal/ answer "Yes" and "No". When it comes to time in Texas, you have to look at each individual case, to determine how TDCJ is going to credit, side closing statements from jury, prosecution, or judge. They may request to impose certain restrictions ... such as a severe case of child abuse, torture, if the case was aggravated/ weapon, etc ... TDCJ parole review board takes all documented into consideration ... judge will make clear what is mandatory or not, if the judge don't request nothing special, then there is no problem with motion to grant parole for the board ... Charlie Manson for example, had so many blocks against him getting paroled, by the court ... plus when he was sentenced, it was to "death", then California repealed the death penalty (so then he's doing "life" instead, but a lifer has also a parole date, unless the court orders "without parole"), back and forth, don't know where California stands today. Back to Toscha ... how severe was her case? ... not much. But, is became aggravated when she used stolen cruiser (unintentionally) as a weapon, so you say, that's "violent" and "aggravated", right? ... but in her case, the board (parole) is not going to go on the technicality/ definition of aggravated in her case, as long as no special requests from court documented (which I doubt there is) ... so they will see it as typical cut and dry, not complicated ... you have a low end booster (shoplifter), that has probably a substance abuse issue (meth), a track record, all non- violent shit, she simply took the squad unit and made a quick dash ... no biggie in her case. You can get various things to go in your favour when pulling time for time off credits. Are you going to AA classes? are you taking any vocational courses, GED or whatever? do you do your job assigned without giving static to guards? do you get in fights? do you have any write ups and/ or warnings by guards/ staff against you? ... or was punished and confined to a few dayz in lockdown for bad behaviour?, you got any contraband busts? are you a team player and get along with staff/ guards? etc, all these things can work against you. But yes, it can do good on a longer sentence too, but again, it has to do with what you were convicted of, and the paperwork that the courts requested at sentencing (simple case or complex case)... most folks get to cruise through, they have standard cases, but you have exceptions.

ANON: In Charlie's case from death to life, was because in 72 I believe, death was ruled as inconstitutional, then all death penalties rolled over to life. Charlie did have a murder conviction. although it was a very shady conviction as far as evidence vs. hearsay IMO, but it was not connected to the Tate/ LaBianca case

Anonymous said...

Thank you Ranch, this is very enlightening! Parole date is set for 2040. That is still a long long way away. Gives me hope it could do good though.

Another thing, I have to say is that I'm startled by the non-privacy of offenders. How is anyone ever expected to find a job and live a normal life after being let go? One google search and an employer might skip. It's different in Europe.. Only get a security/background check for government jobs which require positions of trust, a `normal` employer cannot access this information AFAIK.

Ranch Chimp said...

ANON: I really don't know much about how things are done in Europe. I did watch a documentary once, I believe on PBS (?), and if I recall, it was the prison system in one of the Scandinavian countries ... it blew me away, they actually tried to rehabilitate the offenders (and this was serious felony type offenders), treating them like regular people, human respect, etc ... the prison was better than a Motel 6 in America, non- confinement type surroundings, etc. America (aka Murica) is a world of difference, and here it's all about money, you have companies/ contractors that depend on the free and/ or cheap slave labour, you have 2 political parties here (not sure if you're American), both parties establishment are strongly the puppets and tools of the corporations/ companies/ lobbies, and both are responsible for the current system we have (democrats are a little better than republicans, but republicans also have some good points ... together nonetheless, they are half-assed, basically ... as far as he majority of peoples interests, some being better as actors or entertainers, I guess). Contractors, bail bond companies, corporations, small loan companies, fly- by- night legal services, and all the profiteers that peddle something or another to inmates and their families, do all they can to make sure laws favour their money making, and bank on recidivism. Live a normal life? ... depends on what one defines as normal I guess, for ex- cons ... this is the "normal" reality, you just have to deal with it ... smarter/ sharper you are, the better you can deal with it. Many will just get menial jobs through parole/ probation services, businesses are lined up and do plenty of hiring of them, it's not much, but it's a paycheck. Businesses like hiring them, the same as they like hiring poor blacks and wetbacks (undocumented immigrants), because they can alwayz keep them in debt and working cheap, and it helps keep others wages cheap. Again, everything in America is strictly about making a buck ($$$$), involuntary servitude, debt/ loan business, or whatever. The better the hustler you are, the better you will make it, each individual is different. I know a guy, he done 2 years in TDC/ prison for stealing commercial AC units off buildings after he installed them with the company he was with ... he stole hundreds of thousands in large units, took a plea deal, got about 4 to 10 or so, made parole in 2. Of course, despite his good work record as far as previous performance, and being a certified licensed tech, he was unofficially blacklisted as far as getting any decent job in the field when he got paroled. He started his own small business then, after a few years, business is booming, he hired a few boyz to work for him, hired some college girl to do his paperwork/ accounting, etc, bought a home, etc. I known others, that maybe were less ambitious or gave up easier, and never got out of the rut they went into. If you're black, it's even much harder in America, trust me. 2040 parole for Toscha? ... find it hard to believe that she would actually wait that long though for a parole hearing, I would have to see her case and read it ... the only hard thing she done was jack a police vehicle. All TDC is required to do is their part, and follow court sentencing requests, but they also have special hearings, to release non- violents, or other prison rules as far as releasing inmates. I know people that have done aggravated armed robberies of businesses with guns, and haven't waited that long for a parole hearing. Thanx again ....

Yeah, the $$$, that's sad. I heard before that slavery is actually still allowed in the USA. The 13th amendment excludes convicts. I couldn't believe it so I looked it up a while back. But it's true. So slavery abolished? I don't think so! 'Murica, f**k yeah! Thanks to QI (quite interesting, a British TV show on the BBC) teaching me this factoid. It's definitely not perfect over here. But way more humane, that is for sure. I don't know any repeat offender numbers, but I bet it's lower in Europe. People here are always complaining sentences are too soft. I don't really agree, except in certain cases.
There was this guy in The Netherlands, who killed a politician. It was a politically motivated murder. He got 18 years, served 2/3 of that if I remember correctly. He is a free man currently. He is one of the few who got so much media coverage everybody knows his full name (usually they hide the family name except for the first letter). If they are on a manhunt they might publish the full name, but after they find the person, it'll get retracted.

Please don't get me in to the politics etc., it's just really sad, all of it. What's happening now with the fed (the ECB does the same thing) as well. Evaporating people's savings, the ones who actually have some. Encouraging more debt. Maybe it'll all implode when rates go up. Just to keep the ball rolling and make rich people richer by way of cheap money/stock buybacks etc. etc., the lot.

Good to hear they are actually providing some jobs. It's not good they have a kind of monopoly though. The parole/probation services jobs will pay next to nothing if no one else will hire a convict. Big chance someone will pick up old habits due to not being able to make ends meet.

Good to hear the guy landed softly. People without the skills with which to start their own business, or without starting capital will have a hard/impossible time though. The blacklist thing is also a recipe for disaster if you ask me. Good he found his place!

Yeah, the TDCJ says 2040 on their website via the offender search. Maybe she can do something so they pull the date forward. I have no idea how that works.
Cheers!
