(KMZA)--An Axtell teen faces charges following a chase earlier this month in Nemaha County.

17-year-old Peter Edelman is scheduled to appear in a Nemaha County courtroom September 19th on charges of fleeing and eluding law enforcement and speeding.

He was booked into the Nemaha County Jail August 15th and later released to his parents.

Edelman has been charged in connection with a chase the evening of August 12th.

The Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department says Edelman escaped injury after wrecking his car during the case.  

The Sheriff’s Office says Edelman was westbound on 212th Road, west of L Road, which is a dead end road and curves into a private drive.  He was attempting to elude law enforcement and did not make the curve for the private drive.  His car left the roadway, striking an embankment.

Details on what led to the chase were not released.
