(KNZA)--A Highland man convicted on charges in connection with a short Brown County chase last June has been placed on probation.

Zachariah Brown was sentenced Monday in Brown County District Court to a total of 36-months in prison on charges of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer and possession of methamphetamine. The sentence was suspended and he was placed on one year supervised probation.

Brown pleaded no contest to the charges in December.  In exchange, two misdemeanor charges were dismissed.

He was arrested June 22nd after leading a Sac and Fox Tribal police officer on a nearly six-mile chase.  The chase began in Hiawatha and ended in the area of 260th and Plum Tree Roads after Brown’s vehicle went off the roadway.

Brown fled on foot into a corn field and was arrested a short time later after a K-9 was brought in.
