\nA Leitchfield man was arrested after a debris from his truck struck a police car.<\/p>\n
The incident happened around 3 pm CST Tuesday (1\/24) as Grayson County Sheriff Deputy Joey Beasley attempted to stop a green 1997 Chevy Silverado on Hwy 62 after a piece of metal blew out of the back of the truck and struck the deputy\u2019s cruiser. <\/p>\n
According to police, Beasley initiated his emergency lights and siren as the Silverado turned onto Watershed Road and into a recycling center. The driver, identified as 54 year-old Charles Russell, of Leitchfield then jumped out of the driver\u2019s seat and attempted to flee on foot. <\/p>\n
Russell was caught by Beasley near the entrance of the recycling center, as he continued to refuse to comply to Beasley\u2019s commands and resisted arrest. After a brief time, Russell was detained and placed in the back seat of Beasley\u2019s cruiser. <\/p>\n
Police said Russell was a fugitive on a probation\/parole violation warrant, and additionally was charged with two counts of fleeing or evading police, in a motor vehicle and on foot; resisting arrest; criminal mischief; driving on a suspended or revoked license; leaving the scene of an accident; possession of drug paraphernalia; and having no registration plates.<\/p>\n
Additional charges are forthcoming, according to authorities, as Russell also fled police in a vehicle and on foot on December 26, 2016, and was found to be in possession of counterfeit money. That case will be presented to the Grayson County Grand Jury in February.<\/p>\n
Russell was lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
