HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local man who was jailed back on May 24 after a short chase through the city is scheduled to make his initial court appearance Thursday morning.

Jones was taken into custody on suspicion of felony flee and elude, driving while suspended, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute.
Jones was able to post bond, so he is scheduled to be before a judge Thursday.
