Antonio D. Braxton, a 49-year-old man from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, pleaded guilty Monday to possessing nearly three pounds of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute.
The charges stem from a high-speed chase that began and ended on Interstate 44 in Franklin County on July 2, 2022.
According to court documents, a Franklin County Sheriff’s Deputy initially stopped Braxton’s dark blue Pontiac Trans Am for improperly passing a tractor-trailer.
