HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 22-year-old Wichita man who has been listed as an absconder from his community corrections for nearly a year is facing additional charges here in Reno County after he allegedly ran from law enforcement trying to serve warrants for his arrest.
Dylan Burgess has been on corrections for possession of drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, interference with law enforcement and no tax stamp.
He now faces additional charges of felony flee and elude, driving while suspended, reckless driving, and interference with law enforcement. .
Apparently he was spotted Wednesday inside a store at 30th & Lorraine and when a deputy arrived, he was in a vehicle with a female passenger. The deputy positioned his vehicle in front of the one Burgess was driving, but he placed his vehicle in reverse and accelerated between two vehicles striking one with rear passenger side of his vehicle. He then took off through the parking lot and north on Elm with speeds reaching 70-mph. He then west on 36th and then north again on Maple. As other vehicles tried to turn left, he then allegedly went through a private lawn. He then got back on the road and went north to Kisawa Road and turned west, but the road comes to a dead end. He then apparently stopped his vehicle, got out and walked toward the deputy and gave himself up. He was then taken into custody.
I court, Senior Assistant District Attorney Steve Maxwell asked that his bond of $3,700. be increased because of the chase. But, he also has bonds for failing to appear for motions to revoke in the earlier cases. His bonds total $46,250., so Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen declined to increase the bond in the new case.
He also has another case pending where he also charged with interference with law enforcement.
He’ll be back in court next week to allow the state time to file formal charges.
