(KNZA)--An Atchison man arrested last month after allegedly fleeing on foot from Horton police following a short vehicle pursuit has pleaded no contest to charges.
39-year-old Nichlos Norton entered the plea Monday in Brown County District Court to felony charges of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer and possession of methamphetamine.
In exchange for the plea, four additional counts were dismissed.
Sentencing was set for August 7th.
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.
