HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 34-year-old Hutchinson man who eluded police leading them to ask for the public’s help in locating him is now facing charges in two cases.
Jeremy Frischenmeyer has been charged by the state in one case with felony interference with law enforcement. The state alleges that he resisted or opposed officer Dustin Green, who attempted to serve the warrants. They allege he refused to come out of a house and fled officers on March 15 or March 16.
The other case filed is for a charge of felony flee and elude with five or more moving violations. The state alleges he fled officers or attempted to elude them when given a visual or audible signal to halt. That allegedly occurred on March 14.
Frischenmeyer was wanted on a warrant through Reno County District Court for violating his terms of release stemming from felony drug charges. He was also arrested for a warrant through Hutchinson Municipal Court and warrants through Saline County and Gray County. He also has a suspended driver’s license.
In court, he requested a bond reduction even though he eluded officers. He says he’s a victim of mistaken identity and says he’s innocent until proven guilty. Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen denied the request and the new cases will be moved to a future waiver-status docket.
