Elizabethtown, KY (Fri 2 Oct 2015) - Troopers from Kentucky State Police Post 4 in Elizabethtown were involved in an overnight pursuit that resulted in an arrest and multiple charges for a Leitchfield, KY man.



On October 2, 2015 at approximately 2:15amET, Bullitt Co. dispatch contacted KSP Post 4 for assistance in a pursuit that was initiated by Hillview Police Dept. after responding to a suspicious vehicle complaint.

The vehicle, a 1996 Chevrolet Lumina, fled from police and entered I-65 at the Brooks exit traveling south Interstate 65. The vehicle continued to flee from police on the interstate at which point Bullitt Co. Officers notified their dispatchers that the occupants of the vehicle were shooting at them.

KSP Troopers joined the pursuit at approximately the 102 mm on I-65. The suspect vehicle continued to flee south at high speeds. The suspect vehicle exited I-65 at the 91 mm and proceeded West on the Western KY Pkwy. where Troopers pursued him for several more miles before entering the city of Leitchfield.

Leitchfied Police Department Officers successfully deployed a tire deflation device and a KSP Trooper was able to further disable the vehicle with a low speed maneuver.

Upon attempting to arrest the driver, Timothy E. Hayes (28) of Leitchfield, Mr. Hayes reached for KSP Sgt. Kevin Burton's gunbelt and began tugging on it in an attempt to disarm him.

A scuffle ensued until Troopers and Officers could get Mr. Hayes in control and under arrest.

The suspect was then taken to Twin Lakes Regional Hospital where he was later released and taken to the Grayson Co. Det. Ctr.

Mr. Hayes is charged with speeding 26mph or more, Reckless Driving, Fleeing or Evading Police 1st, Disarming a Peace Officer, Resisting Arrest, Disorderly Conduct 1st, Terroristic Threatening 1st, Possession of Controlled Substance 1st, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

The case is still under investigation by KSP Lt. Jeremy Thompson. KSP was assisted by Bullitt Co. S.O. Grayson Co. So. and Hardin Co. S.O.

An arrest is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by police is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceeding.
