James Putnam Pleads Not Guilty To Six Charges

A Casper man has pleaded not guilty to six charges after trying to flee from police.

Thirty-Seven year old James Putnam, has been charged with burglary, driving while under suspension, eluding, reckless driving and two other charges.

Prosecutors say last month, officers saw Putnam driving, and knew from previous encounters that he had a suspended license.

Putnam fled and eventually eluded police, but witnesses later told officers where he was.

He was tracked down to a home he had broken into.

Other people told police that their shoes were missing, and investigators determined that Putnam had swiped them, in order to disguise his tracks in the snow.

He is currently being held on seven-thousand five-hundred dollars bond and could face up to ten years in prison if convicted.
