(KNZA)--A Highland man has pleaded no contest to charges in connection with a short Brown County chase in June.

35-year-old Zachariah Brown entered the plea Monday in Brown County District Court to charges of  fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer and possession of methamphetamine.

In exchange for the plea, two misdemeanor charges were dismissed.

Sentencing was set for February 5th.

Brown was arrested June 22nd after leading a Sac and Fox Tribal officer on a nearly 6-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 a foot into a corn field and was arrested a short time later after a K-9 was brought in.

He remains in the Brown County Jail on a $55,000 bond.
