WTF was this guy not already in prison?
Reports of driver's past incidents with police
In 2012,
a man who appears to be the same person — a Michael Aaron Jayne, then 30, who appears similar in photos — led police on a high-speed chase through Barton County, Kansas, while he was wanted for probation violations, the Great Bend Tribune reported. He had been convicted of assaulting and threatening law enforcement officers in his native Redding, California, and in Oregon, according to the report.
Police in Kansas warned that Jayne should be considered armed and dangerous, and a stolen pickup truck had been recovered in connection to the search.
The outlet said that "Jayne is reported to have been willing to enter into high speed chases and cause accidents to avoid capture, as well as willing to invade homes. He has threatened to take lethal measures to avoid being taken back into custody." It said during the Oregon incident, Jayne attempted to run over an officer while Jayne was wearing a bullet-proof vest.
Oregon court records show that a Michael Aaron Jayne with the same birth year was arrested in 2009 and accused of attempting to commit murder in Oregon, along with two counts of possession of body armor as a felon and two counts of attempting to commit a felony. He pleaded guilty later that year to one count of possession of body armor and one count of attempting to commit felony, and was sentenced to 42 months in prison. The attempted murder charge was dismissed as part of a plea deal.
California court records show someone with the same name pleaded guilty on July 18, 2011, to resisting an executive officer, and pleaded no contest to three additional counts of resisting an officer and one count of battery on an officer, relating to incidents on multiple dates in 2008 and 2010. He was sentenced to eight months in prison for each charge. Multiple charges of threats to terrorize were dismissed as part of the same plea deal.
