The court ordered these charges to run consecutively.

Flaugher was involved in a hit-and-run crash earlier in Wyandotte County. After what police described as an exchange of gunfire, Flaugher got back in the car, drove down a ravine to the highway and made his getaway. Flaugher was arrested the next week in Miami County.
