Pierce City woman accused of fleeing police with three kids in her vehicle

A woman from Pierce City, Missouri, is accused of leading officers on a pursuit with three kids and meth in her car.

Officers say Jamie Earp nearly slammed into them head-on Monday night before leading them on a pursuit along Commercial Street.

When the vehicle stopped, police say Earp tried to escape on foot — leaving three children behind.

Officers arrested her and allegedly found methamphetamine and a meth pipe.

Earp now faces three child-endangerment counts, felony driving while revoked, drug possession and multiple traffic violations.
