    A Yakima man is going to jail for leading law enforcement on a high-speed car chase in the Colfax area.

    Whitman County Superior Court Judge Gary Libey sentenced Christopher Cornelius, 33, to a year in prison Friday morning. He was convicted of eluding Whitman County Sheriff’s Office deputies earlier this month.

    Cornelius was arrested the night of April 12 after being spotted with a reported stolen vehicle, according to court records. Deputies tried to contact him, but he drove away to Washington State Route 26 at speeds up to 90 mph.
