Hutch man charged in flee and elude case

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Angelo Palermo has been formally charged in a traffic case where he led law enforcement on a slow-speed chase on U.S. 50 back on Sept. 22.

Once stopped, Palermo was arrested for fleeing and eluding — his second offense — DUI — a third offense — driving while suspended, illegal transportation and failing to drive in the right lane.

During the slow-speed chase, he allegedly switched positions with the passenger, according to statements in court.

He finally stopped after pulling off the highway at Jordan Springs Road.

He’ll be back in court Oct. 17.
