Sentencing in Reno County flee and elude case scheduled for Thursday
Victor Gutierrez
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The sentencing for a 26-year-old man convicted of charges associated with a high-speed chase is again scheduled for sentencing on Thursday. It was originally scheduled for last Friday, but was continued because the attorney for Victor Gutierrez wanted time to file a motion to depart.
He entered pleas to criminal possession of a firearm and felony flee and elude, while the state dismissed a charge of possession of cocaine. The chase started because of law enforcement being on the lookout for Gutierrez because of his suspected involvement with a murder in Ford County.
He led law enforcement here in a high-speed chase with speeds as high as 150 miles per hour. The chase reportedly ended at U.S. 50 and Mayfield Road east of Hutchinson, where he pulled over and was taken into custody without incident.
In addition to the murder charge in Ford County, Guttierrez is charged with aggravated endangerment of a child, criminal possession of a firearm by a felon and defacing identification marks of a firearm. The charges in Ford County come after police responded to a home back on Sept. 23, 2014 and found 30-year-old Natasha Pruitt dead of a gun shot wound.
The sentencing is in front of Judge Trish Rose, at 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
