A 28-year-old Mt. Vernon man has been sentenced to 30 months in the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty in Marion County Court to aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer.
Alexsis James of Isabella Avenue will serve the time concurrently with a prison term handed down earlier in Jefferson County.
James is accused in the Marion County charge of fleeing Centralia Police in October of last year and in the process violated two or more traffic control devices. He faced an extended term sentence due to the earlier sentence in Jefferson County.
A misdemeanor count of possession of adult use cannabis in a motor vehicle was dropped as part of the plea.
