A Tulsa man is supposed to go before a judge on Monday. Prosecutors have filed six felonies against Brandon Brixey. Brixey has been charged with two counts of first-degree rape and single counts of lewd molestation, kidnapping, robbery and eluding a police officer.

Brixey is scheduled for his first court appearance on Monday in the case.

The Tulsa Police Department arrested the 25-year-old on June 26 after a high speed chase and intense manhunt. The high-speed chase wound its way from West to South Tulsa. Police say Brixey stole a van from a mother of three at a tanning salon, then sped off with the kids still inside.

They believe he assaulted the eight-year-old before he was spotted two hours later.

TPD says Brixey sped down Memorial at 80 miles an hour, before spike strips took out his tires. He then ran into a nearby apartment complex. A police canine almost caught him, but he eluded police.
