WALSENBURG, COLO. -- The arrest of the Dougherty Gang in Walsenburg, Colo. is not the fugitive siblings' first run-in with the law.

In fact, the trio has more than 20 felonies between them.

"I love to farm and shoot guys and wreck cars," Lee Grace Dougherty wrote on her Flickr profile page. "I like...causing mayhem with my siblings."

Based on the track record of Lee Grace and Ryan Dougherty, 'mayhem' seems like an understatement.

On May 17, the 29-year-old former stripper was arrested for wrecking a car in Florida and leaving the scene. Lee Grace was charged with five felonies and misdemeanors, but was only convicted of driving under the influence.

Like his sister, Ryan has a criminal background.

Since 2007, he has been charged with 17 felonies, including burglaries, possession of drugs, destroying evidence and a hit and run.

On Aug. 1, the 21-year-old was added to Florida's registry of sex offenders after he was convicted of sending hundreds of explicit text messages to an 11-year-old he met on MySpace. He was required to wear an electronic monitoring device on his ankle for two years, but cut it off minutes before he and his siblings shot at a Florida police officer on Aug. 2.

No information on 26-year-old Dylan Dougherty Stanley's criminal history was available. However, based on the crime spree the trio caused in Florida, Georgia and Colorado, there is little question that the entire Dougherty Gang was out to cause mayhem.
