A Jefferson man has been placed on probation after pleading guilty to eluding and driving while barred for a high-speed chase on Highway 141 earlier this year. On June 12, 25-year-old Kyle Dean Rysavy was taken into custody after refusing to stop for law enforcement trying to initiate a traffic stop. Rysavy continued at high speeds westbound on Hwy 141 from near Dedham to Aspinwall in Crawford County, where a Carroll County Sheriff’s Deputy made contact with his vehicle using the patrol car, and Rysavy came to a stop. It was later discovered that Rysavy was barred in the State of Iowa as well as operating a vehicle without the owner’s consent. Rysavy entered a plea agreement in August, accepting charges of eluding, a class D felony, and driving while barred, an aggravated misdemeanor. The five-year prison term for Count One, the two-year prison term for Count Two, and $1,880 in fines have been suspended. Rysavy is ordered to follow the terms of his probation. If prison sentences are ever served, the seven-year term shall run concurrently.
