(KNZA)--An Atchison man arrested last week after allegedly fleeing on foot from Horton Police following a short vehicle pursuit will stand trial on charges.
Following his preliminary hearing Wednesday, 39-year-old Nichlos Norton was bound over to Brown County District Court on felony charges of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer and possession of methamphetamine.
In addition, Norton faces misdemeanor charges of driving while license canceled, suspended or revoked, no insurance and improper registration along with a traffic infraction of speeding.
Arraignment was scheduled for July 10th.
A Horton police officer attempted to stop Norton during the morning hours of June 19th for a traffic violation and a chase ensued. Norton fled out of the Horton city limits east on U.S. 73 Highway and then turned north onto Nighthawk Road where he drove into a ditch and fled on foot into a heavily wooded area. He was arrested following a five-hour search.
Norton remains in the Brown County Jail on a $100,450 bond.

In the governments never ending War on We The People, where every traffic stop is an attempt to escalate to a DUI/drug case, a man who has harmed no one, as in NO VICTIM, and maybe deserves a few traffic tickets now has a $100,450 bond? What kind of insanity is this? This is yet another example of that War on the citizens, We The People. STOP this insane war against the people! Elect politicians who will LIMIT the government to protecting the rights and property of individuals, rather than allowing a few individuals to impose THEIR will, beliefs, morality and dictates upon society. STOP this insanity!
