(KNZA)--An Atchison man arrested last week after allegedly fleeing on foot from  Horton Police following a short vehicle pursuit will stand trial on charges.

Following his preliminary hearing Wednesday, 39-year-old Nichlos Norton was bound over to Brown County District Court on felony charges of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer and possession of methamphetamine. 

In addition, Norton faces misdemeanor charges of driving while license canceled, suspended or revoked, no insurance and improper registration along with a traffic infraction of speeding.

Arraignment was scheduled for July 10th.

A Horton police officer attempted to stop Norton during the morning hours of June 19th for a traffic violation and a chase ensued.  Norton fled out of the Horton city limits east on U.S. 73 Highway and then turned north onto Nighthawk Road where he drove into a ditch and fled on foot into a heavily wooded area.  He was arrested following a five-hour search.         

Norton remains in the Brown County Jail on a $100,450 bond.
