A man from Hollister, charged in connection with a pursuit through multiple jurisdictions, faces circuit court arraignment next week in Taney County.  Thirty-three year old Michael Ruzycky was bound over this week after waiving his right to a preliminary hearing. 

Authorities said last month that Ruzycky fled when a Taney County deputy tried to stop him for an alleged stolen license plate.  The hour-long pursuit involved deputies from Taney, Boone and Stone Counties, and troopers from Missouri and Arkansas. 

Deputies said Ruzycky emerged from the car with a machete after being forced off the road.  He’s charged with resisting arrest and unlawful use of a weapon.

Ruzycky remains in the Taney County Jail.  Arraignment is set for January 19th.
