Man Gets Life For Kansas Crimes Tied To 2015 Oklahoma Police Chase

A judge sentenced a man to life in prison without parole Tuesday for crimes he committed in Kansas while fleeing from Oklahoma police.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt says Alejandro Garcia was sentenced Tuesday for attempted capital murder and other crimes. 

Authorities allege Garcia and two others fled after shooting a police officer in Oologah in May 2015. 

The officer, Charles Neill survived his injuries.

After a long standoff, officers found Garcia in a home near Liberty, Kansas.

Garcia still faces charges in Oklahoma in the shooting of the Oologah officer.
