A 42-year-old Hutchinson man bound over for trial in two cases entered no contest pleas in both cases as part of a plea agreement with the state.

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 order.

In one case, he entered no contest pleas to criminal restraint instead of kidnapping along with two counts of aggravated assault of law enforcement officers. In the second case, he entered no contest pleas to felony flee and elude and violation of a protection from abuse order. All the charges of stalking were dropped by the state.

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 was charged with kidnapping, two counts of aggravated assault of 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 pointed at officers which they later found hidden behind a couch.

They also found in a large safe in the basement, with 40-45 weapons inside, including an assault rifle and an alleged grenade launcher.

With the more serious charges dropped by the state, sentencing will be on October 19.
