SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – A 31-year-old man has pleaded guilty in Woodbury County District Court to leading police on a high-speed chase and possessing drugs in October. The Sioux City Journal reports Chad Hughes of Pender, Nebraska, was sentenced Wednesday to seven years in prison. He was charged with eluding, operating while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance.
As part of his plea agreement, a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia and other traffic offenses were dropped. Court documents state Hughes led police on a chase on U.S. Highway 75. Police were able to stop Hughes. He then fled his vehicle into a cornfield and was tracked down with the help of a police dog.

The Iowa Hawkeyes look for their third straight victory this evening as they host Minnesota in the Big Ten. The Hawks are 6-4 in the league race after wins over Michigan and Maryland and Coach Fran McCaffery credits better execution on the offensive end. Iowa used a late basket by Jarod Uthoff to win the first meeting in the Twin Cities and McCaffery expects the Gophers to come at them with pressure defense.
After starting 0-5 in the league race Minnesota has won four of its last six. Minnesota coach Richard Pitino says the Hawkeyes cause them matchup problems. Pitino feels the Gophers are a more confident team going into this game.
