From The Topeka Capital-Journal:
On the night of Nov. 4, 2012, a hail of gunfire cascaded from inside a large truck surging by the Peines’ home. While a sheriff’s deputy was collecting shotgun and .223-caliber ballistics evidence soon after in the darkness, the same truck cruised past the house. The driver fled as the deputy followed in pursuit with lights flashing. A second deputy blocked the road with a patrol car to end the chase.The Linn County law enforcement report on the incident said a “noticeably intoxicated” Brownback leapt out through one of the truck’s back doors. He informed officers nobody in the vehicle had a shotgun. The report says the driver, 20-year-old Tyler Agler, revealed a pair of shotguns were in the cab. Agler was Kara Jo Earnest's (Jim Brownback's step-daughter) boyfriend.

Despite assurances by Linn County Undersheriff Greg Jackson of certain prosecution of Jim Brownback, Joann Peine said she was eventually told by the sheriff’s department that evidence in the case had been “lost.”
