Amish Man Pleads Guilty for High-Speed Chase

An Amish man is serving two years of probation after police say his vehicle reached speeds of up to 120 mph last summer in a rural area outside Harrisburg. His lawyer told the judge the man's parents have since sold the car.

Pennlive.com reported Wednesday that 19-year-old Sylvan Stoltzfus of Millersburg pleaded guilty to fleeing from police, reckless endangerment and traffic offenses before a Dauphin County judge.

Defense attorney Gary Lysaght tells the judge Stoltzfus now has his own horse and buggy and is more involved with his church than he had been.

The prosecutor says Stoltzfus sped from police and crashed into a parked vehicle, a fire hydrant and a street sign.
