Two men face more severe formal charges than they were booked for after a Wednesday police chase in Atchison.
Caleb Jones and Christopher Haskell both made their first appearance Friday in Atchison County Court.

He also faces misdemeanor charges alleged to occur during the chase, including speeding, reckless driving; driving left of center and three stop sign violations.
