(KAIR)--An Atchison man, who pled last year to amended charges arising from a fatal vehicle crash that claimed the life of another Atchison man, is going to prison.

Brandon Mann was attempting to flee from Atchison Police in January, 2023, when he lost control of his car, which rolled onto its top.

Killed in the crash was a passenger, 20-year-old Jacey Paris, who was ejected.
Mann and two other passengers, aged 15 and 16, were injured.

Originally charged with first-degree murder, the now 23-year-old Mann last year entered a guilty plea to an amended charge of 2nd-degree murder.

Mann, in Atchison County District late last month, learned his fate, as the judge sentenced him to nearly 10-years of incarceration on the charge of 2nd degree murder.
