A 42-year-old Hutchinson man bound over for trial in two cases is scheduled for a court hearing Friday to determine if the cases should be consolidated into one for the purpose of a jury trial.

Michael Meeks was arrested back In January after a brief standoff with police and arrested again in March on multiple charges of stalking and violation of a protection.

Meeks was arrested at gun-point back on March 10 on suspicion of 8-counts of stalking, 8-counts of violation of a protection from abuse order, 7-counts of harassment by phone, criminal trespass, and felony flee and elude.

After a brief chase at speeds estimated at 80-miles per hour, Meeks finally stopped after nearly hitting two pedestrians. The stop occurring at 17th & Severance, where police drew their weapons and he surrendered peacefully. Apparently he had called the victim at her home while an officer was there.

In his other case, he’s charged with kidnapping, two counts of aggravated assault against a law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon, criminal threat and battery. According to police, several 911 calls came in reporting a woman being forced into a home. A witness told police that he had picked her up, putting her over his shoulders and took her into the home, when she refused to enter on her own. Meeks was eventually taken into custody, but at one point reportedly had a shotgun which officers found the shotgun hidden behind a couch.

They also found in a large safe in the basement, 40-45 weapons including an assault rifle and even a grenade launcher were located.

The hearing Friday is in front of Judge Trish Rose.
