Man involved in car chase across state lines appears in court

The man accused of leading police on a car chase last month on Interstate 80 – that included a short standoff – was in Cheyenne County Court on Thursday for a probable casue hearing.

Joseph M. Mladenik, 40, of Cheyenne, Wyo., has been charged with four felonies in the incident. They are three counts of possessing a firearm during commission of a felony and operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest.

Judge Randin Roland ruled Thursday that there is probable cause to belive that Mladenik committed the offense. The judge set bond at $50,000. Arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 13 at 8:30 a.m.
