A 33-year-old Kingsville man was sentenced to 29-years in prison for a lengthy, long-distance flight from police in April of 2011.

Justin Heller pleaded guilty last June to charges that included tampering with a motor vehicle, receiving stolen property and unlawful use of a weapon.

Clinton County Circuit Judge Thomas Nichols Chapman on Wednesday ordered Heller to serve 21 years for three counts of tampering and receiving stolen property, four years for resisting arrest and four years for unlawful use of a weapon. Those sentenced will be served consecutively.

Judge Chapman ordered concurrent sentences totalling a year and a half for two misdemeanor counts.

Officers pursued Heller through Holt and Independence, Missouri, before arresting him at a home in Kansas City.

Along the way he out-wrestled a police officer and took his service weapon.
