HUTCHINSON – A Kansas man convicted after he led officers on a high-speed chase in a stolen vehicle wanted to withdraw his plea in the case, but that was denied Friday by Judge Tim Chambers.

Benjamin McKinney, 22, Hutchinson was then sentenced to a total of two years and five months in prison.

Charges included aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, felony flee and elude, theft and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.

In June of 2014, a stolen vehicle reported to Hutchinson Police.

The vehicle was spotted in Haven and that led to a sheriff’s deputy attempting to make a traffic stop on Kansas 96.

McKinney, driving the vehicle, refused to stop and that prompted a chase that went across the eastern part of Reno County briefly into Harvey County and ended near Trail West and Worthington Roads after McKinney drove into a ditch.

The keys were apparently left in the vehicle and there was also a credit card inside that was allegedly used in Wichita, leading to the charge of criminal use of a financial card.

At the time of his arrest, McKinney was on probation for another flee and elude case from 2013.
