(KNZA)--A Hiawatha man is facing charges after leading authorities on a chase.
According to a release from Hiawatha Police Chief John Defore, the chase began late Friday afternoon after an officer attempted to stop a vehicle driven by 37-year-old Zachariah Brown after he was observed swerving and speeding.

He was booked into the Brown County Jail on charges including fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, reckless driving, driving while license suspended, canceled or revoked, no liability insurance and interference with law enforcement.
