A stalking law signed by the governor Friday already is fueling debate over how much impact it will carry.

The parents of Jodi Sanderholm, for whom the law is nicknamed, say it might have saved their daughter.

Legal observers wonder how much it aids law enforcement.

Cindy Sanderholm said the measure, known as "Jodi's law," may make it easier for police to act on stalking reports.

"Hopefully this will help protect more people, so someone won't have to go through what we did," Cindy Sanderholm said Friday, as she prepared for her son's wedding.

A man forced an acquaintance into the trunk of a car early Thursday morning, then drove around using the victim's ATM card to withdraw money before releasing him unharmed, police said.

Authorities were alerted by two women who called 911 at about 4:20 a.m.

They reported that they were riding with an acquaintance when they heard pleas for help coming from the trunk of the car, Patrol South Lt. E.J. Bastian said.

When they first heard sounds coming from the trunk, Bastian said, the driver told the women he had put his pit bull in the trunk.

But when they heard the muffled words "Help me" and what sounded like someone hitting or kicking the back seat, the women became frightened and jumped out of the car when the driver stopped at an intersection, Bastian said.

A brief chase through southwest Wichita Thursday resulted in police firing two shots at a fleeing vehicle and one of two suspects being hit with a Taser during his arrest.

Lt. Joe Schroeder said the chase started at about 10:30 p.m. after the car was pulled over on a traffic violation near McCormick and Seneca.

As officers approached the car, Schroeder said, the car sped off, striking a police car and nearly striking the officers.

Both officers fired at the car but no one was hit, Schroeder said.

Schroeder said the car was finally stopped at Glenn and McCormick when the driver and passenger, who resisted arrest, were taken into custody.

A Sedgwick County district judge said Thursday that a citizens grand jury investigating a Wichita abortion provider may have to issue new subpoenas for patient records.

Judge Paul Buchanan did not rule on whether he would enforce or reject the subpoenas to George Tiller's clinic in light of a Kansas Supreme Court decision earlier this week. The state's highest court outlined specific findings Buchanan would have to make before ruling on the order for more than 2,000 patient records and limiting the scope of the grand jury's request.

During the hearing, the judge indicated that revised subpoenas may need to be issued.

Abortion opponents collected more than 7,000 signatures to impanel the grand jury. Kansas is one of only a handful of states that allows residents to petition for a grand jury investigation.

Prosecutor Ann Swegle of the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office, who is advising the grand jury, told the judge the panel would agree to seek a sampling of 50 records per year for the past five years.
