(KAIR)--Nine months in prison.
That's the sentence handed down in Atchison County District Court for an Atchison man that led police on a pursuit in February.
Donald Harvey III was sentenced to nine months with the Kansas Department of Corrections on one felony count of fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement.
His sentence will run consecutive to a prison sentence he's serving in connection with a past conviction in Doniphan County on unrelated charges.
The February 24 pursuit began when the then 24-year-old Harvey refused to stop for police. Instead, he drove from central Atchison to the western edge of the city, on U.S. Highway 73, where he crashed his truck into a fence. He then fled on foot into a wooded area, but was apprehended through the use of a Kansas Highway Patrol K9, and the assistance of the Atchison County Sheriff's Office.
