A Galena man is sentenced in federal court for shooting at police during a multi-state, high speed chase.
36-year-old Adam Kastler was sentenced to 13 years in federal prison without parole for his role in a February 2023 car chase. Kastler pleaded guilty earlier this year to being a felon in possession of a firearm. According to court documents, Kastler fled after a traffic stop in Joplin. The chase eventually led into Kansas to Cherokee County. Kastler fired a gun at officers before losing control of his vehicle and crashing.
Kastler has prior felony convictions for distributing methamphetamine and aggravated domestic battery.
