BISMARCK, N.D. (KXNET) — A man arrested following a police chase in Bismarck is now being charged in federal court.
Kyle Johnson was previously charged in April, where he led police on a high-speed chase throughout Burleigh County before it ended on South Washington Street.

Those counts include:
- Possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance
- Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
- Possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance
- Possession and discharge of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime
