What We Know: A Seligman man accused of ramming a Nixa police car during a chase last year is headed to federal prison.

What It Means: James Larson has been sentenced to 15 years for his role in a meth distribution conspiracy.

Police say Larson backed his pickup into a patrol car during a March 2025 chase, then fled. He was later arrested with help from a police K9.

His federal sentence is separate from the state charges connected to the chase, with another court appearance set for December.
