A man charged with fleeing from Strike Force officers and nearly running a motorist off the road pleaded guilty Thursday.

As we reported, Jay Baskett was charged after an incident March 10. Investigators tried to pull over a silver Lexus near Savannah Ave. and Middleton Street, but the driver took off at a high rate of speed, passed two vehicles on a two-way street and nearly ran a motorist off the road.

Baskett is due back in court July 6 at 10:30 am before Judge Daniel Kellogg for sentencing on a class-e felony charge of resisting arrest by fleeing. He faces a maximum possible prison term of four years.

Although officials say the crime was committed while Baskett was on probation from a 2013 drug case, Baskett will not face re-sentencing in that case. During a hearing on Friday, Judge Patrick Robb ruled the probation period has expired.
