Andrew Davis/Credit: Brown Co Sheriff
(KNZA)--A rural Horton man convicted on charges stemming from a high speed chase in February has been sentenced to three years in prison.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill said 35-year-old Andrew Davis was handed the sentence Monday in Brown County District Court on charges of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer and felony flee to elude
He pleaded no contest to the charges in April.
Authorities say Davis struck an occupied Sheriff's deputy's vehicle before he sped away following a February 14 traffic stop in Brown County, leading authorities on a two-state pursuit.
During the sentencing hearing, Hill said Davis's attorney asked the court to depart from the sentencing guidelines and grant him probation. Hill objected and stated that due to the seriousness of the offenses and Davis's prior criminal history, he deserved to be sentenced to prison.
After hearing arguments and statements from Davis and his family members, Brown County District Court Judge John Weingart denied Davis's request and sentenced him to prison.
Davis's bond was revoked and he was remanded to the Brown County Jail to be delivered to State prison.
