A Cedar Rapids man accused of eluding Iowa City Police last week is now behind bars.
72-year-old Dennis Maudlin of 4th Avenue SE was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 6:15 Tuesday night. An officer reports seeing a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country travelling on the 600 block of Highway 6 West just before 8:45 Friday night. The license plate had a blue sticker, and the registration came back as expiring last October.
A traffic stop was attempted with the officer’s lights and siren activated, but the vehicle failed to stop and continued westbound before changing lanes and speeding away. Another officer reports dealing with the vehicle’s registered owner…listed as Maudlin…earlier in the evening while he was in the same vehicle.
Maudlin is charged with Eluding and Operating a Non-Registered Vehicle. If convicted, he faces a maximum of one year in jail.
