New charges added for Browne’s Addition collision suspects

From staff reports
Two men accused of fleeing from police in Browne’s Addition last Friday face new charges thanks to the methamphetamine officers found in their vehicle. Police said Brandon K. Hutchinson, 30 and Christopher L. Olson, 34, crashed a car and fled on foot from the 1800 block of West First Avenue after officers initiated a traffic stop. Hutchinson then broke into a home on Pacific Avenue and tried to assault a responding officer with his own Taser, police said. Hutchinson was initially booked on charges for assault, burglary and unlawful possession of a firearm. He now faces an additional charge for possession of a controlled substance. Olson was booked on an attempting to elude charge, and now faces two possession of a controlled substance charges, as well as unlawful possession of a firearm. Both men will appear in court Monday afternoon.
