Man convicted of felony flee and elude sentenced to just over a year

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 36-year-old Wichita man who entered a plea to flee and elude will serve a year and two months in prison.

Authorities had been looking for William Scott for some time because of outstanding warrants. Officers spotted him and attempted to pull him over. Scott refused to stop his vehicle and led officers on a high-speed chase.

Scott eventually crashed into a police officer at 9th and Lorraine. The officer, identified as Mike Rivers, went to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center for an X-ray of his foot.

Although other charges were initially filed, Scott entered a plea to the felony flee and elude charge only and was sentenced to 14 months by District Judge Trish Rose.
