All other charges were dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>If the court accepts the plea deal, Tangney\u2019s sentence would be capped at two and a half years in community corrections for the aggravated vehicular eluding case, to be served concurrently with other charges. In the deal, Tangney also agreed to pay restitution up to $50,000. His sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 23.<\/p>\n<p>The warrant for Tangney\u2019s arrest following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/police-negotiating-with-suspect-following-kremmling-pursuit\/\">April pursuit<\/a> described how a deputy chased Tangney to Colorado Timber Resources, north of US Highway 40 at County Road 21.<\/p>\n<p>When another deputy arrived, Tangney\u2019s hit one of the patrol vehicles in his vehicle before leaving the yard at Timber Resources. Tangney headed west on US Highway 40 at speeds of 90-100 mph.<\/p>\n<p>The chase continued for 8 miles before law enforcement officials deployed stop strips and flatted Tangney\u2019s front left tire. The vehicle continued to Rayner\u2019s Trailer Court, where Tangney abandoned the vehicle and ran into a trailer.<\/p>\n<p>A brief standoff ensued as authorities unsuccessfully tried to communicate with Tangney. Authorities left the scene without him in custody and issued a warrant for his arrest the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Tangney was eventually arrested on May 25 at a convenience store in Kremmling. He was released on a $25,000 bond and scheduled for a June 11 court date, which he failed to appear.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/defendant-in-kremmling-high-speed-pursuit-pleads-guilty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Sky-Hi News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zachary TangneyCourtesy photo A Kremmling man who led police on a high-speed chase in Grand County pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of vehicular eluding.
