STREIT, Justice.

While on the lam for ditching court, Roger Doggett took police on a fast and furious car chase around the Des Moines metro area. He pled guilty to felony eluding, but now claims his trial counsel should not have allowed him to do so because there was not a factual basis for the charge. We agree. We conclude Doggett's trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective, and reverse and remand for further proceedings.
