Scott Lutz was also bound over for an interference with law enforcement charge, more commonly known as obstruction.

She set a possible trial date Friday for August 7, with a motions deadline of July 1.

Lutz was arrested by officers from the Reno County Sheriff’s Office and Buhler Police after a stake out for the suspect at a home at 125 East 9th. He allegedly ran from officers at that home, but was stopped while a passenger in a vehicle in the area of 4th and Buhler Road. When Lutz refused to get out, officers broke the window and removed the subject from the vehicle. He was taken into custody after a brief scuffle.

A felony charge of theft for being in possession of a stolen 1991 Chevy Pickup is pending a later hearing, as is a robbery charge for allegedly taking a 1994 Ford Explorer pickup and a cell phone by force. That occurring back on December 25, 2011.

He was reportedly involved in a number of brief chases with police during the holidays last year, but managed to get away, but was never charged with flee and elude for any of those incidents.

All of the cases occurring late last year, and early this year in Reno County.

The preliminary hearing in the other cases will also be scheduled in the near future.
