Tama Michael Rawhiti appeared in court on Tuesday.
The man accused of pointing a gun at police officers before he and a female accomplice got into a police car and then crashed it in Ohakune on Saturday has appeared in Whanganui District Court.
Tama Michael Rawhiti, 33, is charged with possessing a long barrel rifle without lawful purpose,
using a firearm against a police officer acting in the course of duty and dishonestly taking for his own purpose a Holden Commodore valued at $35,000.
Rawhiti was arrested after a two-day hunt for a man who allegedly pointed a gun at police in Ohakune ended in a dramatic stakeout in Raetihi.
He appeared in court on Tuesday alongside 29-year-old Amelia Ann Morris who is facing the same charges.
Both of the alleged offenders appeared in court on Tuesday afternoon where they were represented by lawyer Jamie Waugh.
