HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The 35-year-old Hutchinson man charged after he allegedly fled local law enforcement was bound over for trial Monday by District Judge Joe McCarville

Dominic Vargas is charged with two alternate counts of flee or attempt to elude law enforcement. In one case, they say he attempted to avoid a tire deflation device and, in the other, he engaged in reckless driving.

Other charges include possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana with a prior conviction, possession of Oxycodone and being a criminal carrying a weapon, in this case, brass knuckles.

It started a little before 6 p.m. on June 27 when he was spotted getting gas in South Hutchinson by law enforcement and they knew he was wanted by the Kansas Department of Corrections. Reno County Sheriff Deputies and a South Hutchinson Police officer attempted to stop his truck.

Vargas started to yield in South Hutchinson, according to South Hutchinson Police Officer Mark Thompson, but the allegedly drove away into Hutchinson where Hutchinson Police officers joined the chase. Vargas continued to flee into the county with speeds at times from 90 to 100 mph.

At the intersection of U.S. 50 and Buhler-Haven Road., a Sheriff deputy lost control and rolled his vehicle into a field. He was not injured

The chase continued south on Haven Road for approximately five more miles where a Haven Police Officer had a tire deflation device deployed. Vargas allegedly drove off the roadway again to avoid the device when deputies collided with his vehicle. His vehicle eventually rolled and ended up on its side. He was not injured, but taken to jail.

With him being bound over for trial, the case now moves to arraignment early next month.
