LOGAN, Iowa (AP) – An 18-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for shooting at an Iowa Department of Transportation officer during a high-speed chase. Chauncy Jewett of Sioux City was sentenced Monday. He had pleaded guilty last month to intimidation with a dangerous weapon and carrying weapons.

According to police, Jewett fired at motor vehicle officer Derek Floerchinger during a chase on Interstate 29 on May 18. Court documents say Jewett leaned out of his vehicle’s window and Floerchinger heard an object strike his car. It was later determined that the officer’s car had been struck by a gunshot.

Jewett was arrested near Missouri Valley, Iowa, after he lost control of the car and fled on foot. Police say the car Jewett had been driving was stolen.
