FLORISSANT, Mo — In a court ruling, a Florissant woman, Tiffany Kanzler, has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for her involvement in an incident that occurred in January of the previous year. During the incident, Kanzler hit a Saint Charles County sheriff’s deputy with her car and subsequently led law enforcement on a five-mile chase.
The encounter began when officers attempted to pull over the 29-year-old near Fifth Street in Saint Charles. However, Kanzler accelerated, striking the sheriff’s deputy and his vehicle in the process. The collision resulted in the deputy suffering a broken pelvis and a broken ankle.
As a result of her actions, Kanzler faced several charges and was ultimately convicted of second-degree assault of a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, leaving the scene of an accident, and property damage. The severity of the incident led to the significant prison sentence imposed on her by the court.
