A man wanted for a homicide in Texas has been charged in connection with a chase in west Wichita that led to his capture.
Charges were filed in Sedgwick County against 27-year-old Derek Daigneault. He is charged with three counts of attempting to flee or elude law enforcement officers, aggravated battery, criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and a misdemeanor charge of possession of THC. He is also charged with violating the offender registration act.
Daigneault’s bond was set at $100.,000 and his next court appearance is scheduled for April 27th. This case is separate from the one he is facing in Texas.
Daigneault was arrested on April 8th after a chase that ended at 13th and Tyler. Wichita police were notified by officials in Robinson, Texas that he might be in the Wichita area and a license plate reading system picked up his car. That led to a chase that ended at a Dillon’s store where he was taken into custody. Several cars were hit during the chase but no serious injuries were reported.
