The Louisville man that led police on a multi-county pursuit Sunday evening has been released from the hospital and is now being held in jail.
Joshua E. Arledge, 31, was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center on Tuesday under a $25,000 cash bond. He is scheduled to be video arraigned in Hardin District Court on September 4.
He is being charged with fleeing and evading 1st degree, receiving stolen property, theft of unlawful taking over $10,000, and various other felony charges.
The pursuit of a stolen Hyundai Elantra began in Nelson County and passed through Hardin County, where Arledge exited that vehicle on Patriot Lane and fled on foot. As troopers set up a perimeter, they observed Arledge now operating a semi-tractor trailer, and another pursuit ensued. The pursuit then entered back onto I-65 north before troopers successfully deployed stop sticks near the 117-mile marker. At that time, the semi exited the interstate and entered the parking lot of an adjacent business before pulling out onto East Blue Lick Road in Bullitt County. After a brief period traveling down East Blue Lick, the semi left the roadway and overturned in a wooded area near the roadway, and the suspect was taken into custody without further incident.
