An Atchison man who kidnapped a 5-year-old girl, fired at police officers and led them on a high-speed chase pleaded guilty Thursday to two felonies that could send him to prison for life.
Marcas McGowan, 32, pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of kidnapping resulting in death and one count of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors dropped two charges of unlawful possession of a firearm.
