Sentencing is scheduled next month for a 29-year-old Overland Park man on charges stemming from a high-speed police pursuit in Tonganoxie last month.

Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson says Michael George pleaded no contest to all the charges against him.

Thompson says that during the early-morning hours of July 20, Tonganoxie police were notified by a KBI officer who believed a driver to be impaired. Police made a traffic stop and asked for identification, but they say George took off, and led police in a high-speed chase through the city of Tonganoxie. Thompson says the vehicle eventually stopped, but the suspect fled on foot.

He was apprehended during a search by officers and the department’s canine unit. The vehicle was found to be stolen.

George pleaded guilty in Leavenworth County District Court to charges of attempting to elude law enforcement, interference with law enforcement, possession of a stolen vehicle, and driving while found to be a habitual violator. Sentencing is scheduled September 16 at 10 a.m.
