A man involved in a high-speed chase that killed a Louisville police officer entered a not guilty plea Monday to charges that included murder, according to court records.
Wathaniel Lamont Woods, also known as James Woods, was arraigned in Jefferson District Court a day after being taken into custody on the charges. Bond was set at $1 million cash.
Woods is charged with killing Louisville Officer Nick Rodman, who died from injuries he suffered last week in a fiery crash resulting from the pursuit.
Online jail records show Woods is also facing several other charges stemming from the pursuit and crash including assault, fleeing police, wanton endangerment, drug trafficking, being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun and driving on a suspended license.
His next court date in the officer’s death is April 13.
