A Radcliff man is wanted for nearly striking a Hardin County Sheriff’s Department sergeant who had initiated a second traffic stop on him.
The incident began March 21 when Sgt. Taylor Miller followed a vehicle driven by 29 year-old Chester Keith Coogle into a graveyard.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Shane Young said Coogle is accused of driving into the cemetery at night and when Miller saw him entering the area, he followed. Young said Coogle turned the vehicle lights off and kept the engine running. When the sergeant approached, Coogle fled.
Young said Miller then followed him to a farm and with Miller out of his vehicle, Coogle drove at him but Miller jump behind his vehicle.
Coogle then left his vehicle and ran off.
He was directly indicted Thursday by a Hardin County grand jury on four felony charges, including criminal attempt to commit murder, a Class B felony punishable by 10 to 20 years in prison, if convicted.
Also included in his indictment is first-degree fleeing and evading in a motor vehicle, a Class D felony punishable by one to five years in prison and first-degree possession of a controlled substance — methamphetamine, a Class D felony punishable by one to three years in prison, if convicted.
He also was indicted on being a second-degree persistent felony offender and possession of drug paraphernalia. Authorities reportedly found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in Coogle’s abandonded vehicle.
Coogle will be held in lieu of a $100,000 full cash bond in the Hardin County Detention Center upon capture.
