A Maryland man is in custody after a pursuit from LaRue County in Taylor County.
The Hodgenville Police Department says Deondrick K. Davis of Baltimore faces multiple charges including seven counts of First Degree Wanton Endangerment, First Degree Fleeing or Evading Police, and Possession of Marijuana, among other charges, after his arrest Monday.
According to the HPD, officers initiated a traffic stop on a speeding vehicle on the Lincoln Parkway shortly before 1 a.m. on June 22. Officers detected the odor of marijuana and asked the driver, identified as Davis, to step out of the vehicle. Davis refused and fled the scene, heading down Lincoln Parkway to KY 210.
Davis fled from officers at a high rate of speed, disregarding a traffic signal and a stop sign in the process. He continued the pursuit to a residence on Laten Drive in Campbellsville, at which time he peacefully got out of the vehicle and was taken into custody.
Davis was lodged in the LaRue County Detention Center. He is being held on a $9,500 cash bond and is due to appear in LaRue District Court on Wednesday.
