A Meade County man was arrested Sunday after allegedly fleeing from police on a stolen motorcycle.

On Sunday night, police were called to the area of West Lincoln Trail Boulevard in reference to a reported stolen motorcycle. A Radcliff Police officer located the motorcycle on the roadway near North Wilson Road, where the driver, Jason Poole, was operating it. When officers attempted a traffic stop, Poole fled with a passenger, who attempted to get off, towards Dixie Highway, eventually crashing and fleeing on foot through several parking lots. While being placed under arrest, officers located a metal shim and screwdriver in his pocket, fashioned into the shape of a key.

Poole was charged with Fleeing or Evading, Receiving Stolen Property, as well as Unlawful Imprisonment, among other charges. He was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center.

Hodgenville PD asking public’s help in gathering their history

The Hodgenville Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance with a special project that will serve to chronicle the department’s history.

Hodgenville Police Chief James Richardson says the idea to gather information regarding the police department’s history came from the department having no photos of Chief John Cox, who had recently passed away.

Richardson says this will go a long way in honoring the department and the officers that have served it. I’m Jake Richardson.

Submissions to the Police Department can be made via their Facebook page, or by emailing Chief Richardson directly at policechief@cityofhodgenville.com.
