They were captured in Colorado on Wednesday after a 20 mile car chase with speeds up to 120 mph with one of the Doughertys allegedly firing an AK-47 assault rifle at pursuing cops.

In a police affidavit made public today, Lee Dougherty admitted to police that after the crash she was running away while carrying a machine pistol. Police said she "stopped, attempted to work the action on the pistol, and pointed the weapon directly at" Walsenburg Police Chief Chamberlain.
