(KAIR)--Formal charges are filed against the pair blamed for a weekend, Leavenworth County pursuit, complete with gunfire that left a deputy injured when he crashed his patrol vehicle while being fired upon.
According to a release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 33-year-old Leavenworth resident Andrew Amundsen is charged with attempted capital murder on two deputies from the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s office, aggravated residential burglary, interference with a law enforcement officer, two counts aggravated battery, fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement, two counts criminal threat, and aggravated endangering a child, and criminal damage of property.
All are felony charges, the release says, except for the criminal damage.
29-year-old Mariah Huggins, of Kansas City, Kansas, is charged with two counts aggravated battery, fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement, driving while suspended, reckless driving, and failure to wear a seat belt.
The release clarifies that the aggravated batteries and the flee or attempting elude are felonies, while the other counts are misdemeanors.
According to the release, the charges listed are in place for now, but the case remains under investigation, overseen by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
The pair is held in the Leavenworth County Jail, with bond for Amundsen set at $1 million, while Huggins' bond is $50,000.
According to a release from the KBI, the pursuit-turned-shooting began around 8:45 Friday night, in the City of Basehor, after a resident reported being threatened.
The Sheriff's Office arrived, following the victim's description of a suspect SUV that was located, but failed to stop, with the release saying gunshots were fired toward a deputy's patrol vehicle several times, eventually causing the pursuing deputy to crash. The deputy was transported to the hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and then released.
The pursuit continued until the suspect SUV crashed, with Amundsen fleeing the wreck on foot, allegedly firing several rounds after exiting, with a deputy returning fire.
Amundsen was found, uninjured, hiding in the bed of a pickup truck, and arrested.
Huggins was taken into custody immediately after the SUV wrecked.
