(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man who attempted to flee from police on a bicycle earlier this year is going to prison.
According to a release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 45-year-old Jereme Mann learned his sentence last week in Leavenworth County District Court.
Charged with interference with law enforcement, Mann, on March 7, pleaded guilty to the charge which, Friday, earned him a sentence of one-year-four-months of incarceration in a Kansas prison.
According to the release, it was on February 6 that officers in the area of Leavenworth's Shawnee Street and North 10th Street observed a man riding a bicycle without lights and acting evasively. When an officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop using emergency lights, the suspect, later identified as Mann, took the bicycle off-road and fled into a wooded area.
An officer parked his patrol vehicle and pursued Mann on foot, maintaining visual contact. Despite repeated commands identifying themselves as law enforcement and ordering Mann to stop, he continued to flee until crashing into a large rock. Mann then attempted to run, ignoring additional commands.
After being warned that a Taser would be used if he did not comply, Mann continued to flee and was subsequently subdued by a successful Taser deployment.
