An Indianola man faces multiple charges after an incident with the Perry Police Department late this past Wednesday night.

Robert James Hugen has been charged with a Class D Felony of eluding, a serious misdemeanor for operating while intoxicated, and simple misdemeanors for reckless driving and driving while barred a habitual offender after an incident occurred at approximately 10:51 p.m. this past Wednesday.

According to the police department, an officer saw Hugen make an erratic turn as he was heading west on Willis Avenue, and his vehicle had no license plate on the back. Officers also suspected Hugen may have been intoxicated. 

Officers attempted to pull Hugen over, he refused and a chase ensued. Hugen’s vehicle began to speed up near I Court and eventually headed west toward Dawson at speeds of 100-115 miles per hour. Hugen allegedly then turned onto P Avenue into Dawson going 84 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone. 

Hugen eventually stopped in the road and was arrested. No injuries were reported from the incident. 

Hugen is currently in the Dallas County Jail on an $8,000 cash or surety bond.
