A Baxter County man, 42-year-old Jeremiah Dean Partee, who led police on a high-speed chase on icy roads in Mountain Home earlier this month, before being apprehended, made his initial court appearance Thursday.
Partee, appearing via video hookup from the Baxter County Detention Center, entered a not guilty plea in three open cases locally. His alleged crimes have ties to Howell County, where charges have also been filed.
Court documents released this past week provide further details on the high-speed chase beginning on Arkansas Highway 5 North involving Partee’s fleeing car being struck by a patrol unit. Despite the collision, he continued on, with his car reportedly striking another vehicle, ripping off its bumper.
