Fleeing twice from police — once by vehicle in excess of 100 miles per hour and again on foot through people’s backyards in Columbus — has landed a Lancaster County man in state prison.

President Judge Maureen Skerda handed the sentence down Friday against Anthony S. Garman, 31, New Holland, Pa.

He was charged by Pennsylvania State Police back in August.

Troopers were traveling east on US 6 when a black Audi station wagon was observed “following a pickup truck closer than is reasonable and prudent,” according to the affidavit of probable cause. Troopers turned around and observed the Audi “accelerate at a high rate of speed.”

They “traveled in excess of 105 mph from Baccus Corners Rd. to the intersection of (US) 6 and Pike Rd., approx. (sic) three miles where I was able to catch up with the vehicle and initiate a traffic stop…”

Garman, troopers say, pretended to be someone else and a “strong odor of marijuana” was coming from the vehicle.

Troopers went to arrest Garman when he “suddenly bolted away from the front of my patrol vehicle and ran northeast, across SR 957 and into backyards of multiple residences and Columbus Elementary School.”

His attorney, Alan Conn, acknowledged prior burglary and robbery convictions but noted they are over 10 years ago. Court records show those cases originated in 2009 in Lancaster County.

Conn said his client is sorry and takes responsibility for the incident, during which he was under the influence.

Skerda sentenced Garman to 30 to 60 months incarceration in state prison, $1,025 in fines and fees, credit for 136 days time served, submission of a DNA sample and priority for state drug treatment programs on a count of flight to avoid apprehension.

She also sentenced him to three to six months incarceration, $1,175 in fines and fees and a 12 month license suspension on a count of DUI as well as 15 to 30 days incarceration to be served concurrently on a count of possession of marijuana, $245 and a 12 month license suspension for driving on a suspended license and $150 on a speeding violation.
