HUTCHINSON— A Kansas man facing charges associated with a high speed chase in August was bound over for trial in another case on Wednesday.

Christopher Ford, 30, Hutchinson, was bound over for trial for being in possession of stolen property and criminal possession of a firearm.

The arrest came in Haven after a police officer discovered the tag on the vehicle the suspect was driving did not match the vehicle.

Police also discovered that the vehicle had been reported stolen in Wichita and may have been involved with an aggravated burglary in Sedgwick County.

Police also found a 9mm handgun on the driver’s side floor board of the vehicle.

Ford claimed he had the gun legally, but it was later learning he had prior felony conviction for being in possession of methamphetamine in 2010.

Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen found there was enough evidence to send the case to arraignment and possible trial on Oct. 3.

Ford was arrested in August month for felony flee and elude after a Reno County Sheriff Deputy tried to initiate a traffic stop in the 3100 block of East Blanchard.

As the deputy attempted to stop the vehicle, Ford allegedly drove down into the ditch, accelerated out, continued traveling east on Blanchard and ran a stop sign at Yoder Road.

During the pursuit, he ran an additional seven stop signs and was speeding during that time.

The vehicle was eventually abandoned near the intersection of Acres Street and South Elm in Hutchinson.

After a search, police found and arrested Ford.

The case is pending a preliminary hearing.
