ACSO: CPD cruiser struck after high speed pursuit By Sheriff Josh Brockman Adair County Sheriff's Office On Sunday morning, February 24, 2019, around 5:40amCT, Russell Springs Police entered Adair County in pursuit of a maroon 2016 Nissan Altima. Sheriff's Deputy Joey Keith joined in the pursuit to assist close to the Adair County line on KY 80. Pursuit speeds reached up to 120 mph as they headed toward Columbia. As they approached the City Limits of Columbia, Columbia Police Officer Adam Cravens attempted to block the road to keep the pursuit from entering into the city where morning traffic was picking up. At this point the fleeing suspect rammed Officer Cravens and continued on. Although it didn't immediately stop the suspect, Officer Cravens efforts resulted in heavy damage to the suspect's vehicle that eventually forced him off the road and into an earth embankment about quarter mile past the impact, and just shy of the city. The suspect fled the vehicle, with Russell Springs Officer and Deputy Keith in foot pursuit. They lost subject in thick overgrowth. However, approximately 40 minutes later Sheriff's Deputy Dereck Padgett located him hiding under a truck at a local business MLS down by Russell Creek, around half a mile from where the chase started. The suspect, Micheal Nickhols, age 31, was taken into custody by Deputy Padgett, where he was released to Russell Springs Police Chief and his agency to be taken back to Russell County where he will face multiple charges. He will also face charges that will be filed by the Adair County Sheriff's Office, for Wanton Endangerment 1st degree in Police Officer for striking Officer Cravens. Criminal Mischief 1st degree for the severe damage to City of Columbia police cruiser, and possession of methamphetamine that was found in him when Deputy Padgett took him into custody. Responding personnel on scene included Sheriff Josh Brockman and Police Chief Jason Cross of Adair County, along with multiple personnel from their agencies, plus Sheriff Derrick Polston and Police Chief Joe Michael Irvin of Russell County along with multiple personnel from their agencies, and Adair County EMS.
