The 23-year-old man who was allegedly involved in a police chase on December 6, was back in court Wednesday morning for the formal reading of charges.

Jason Thiel is now charged with two counts of aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault, felony flee and elude, interference with law enforcement, two counts of criminal damage, possession of stolen property, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving while suspended and no proof of insurance.

The case starts with a Hutchinson woman reporting her car stolen several days prior to this incident. Police then spotted the vehicle at 11th & Plum, and when officers tried to stop the vehicle, Thiel allegedly drove off with police then in pursuit. They say they lost his vehicle around 11th & Cleveland, but spotted it again at 4th & Maple. The chase then started again until he allegedly drove into a parking lot, when police say he then rammed two police cruisers and attempted to run over an officer. He then left the parking lot, but eventually he and his passenger Bryson Allen jumped from the moving vehicle. The passenger managed to get away, but Thiel was arrested and taken to jail.

A short time later, Allen was located and taken to Promise Regional Medical Center after he claims he woke up in a field and knew nothing of what happened.

Bond for Thiel was set at 66-thousand, 650-dollars.

He’s no stranger to law enforcement with previous convictions for aiding a felon, obstruction, and theft.

Allen also faces charged of interference with law enforcement, and possession of stolen property. He was also arrested for failing to appear in other court cases.
