\nA Louisville man has been charged following a pursuit in east Louisville that injured a Louisville Metro Police officer.<\/p>\n
William M. Judy, 20, has been charged with attempted murder of a police officer, two counts of wanton endangerment, assault of a police officer, two counts of fleeing or evading police and reckless driving, according to court documents.<\/p>\n
Judy\u2019s arrest report states Louisville Metro Police was initially called to the scene of a possible domestic dispute in the 500 block of Rothbury Lane on December 9.<\/p>\n
The report states Judy and a female were in the middle of the street arguing with each other.<\/p>\n
When an officer arrived, the woman had gotten into a truck and Judy was arguing with another person.<\/p>\n
The officer made contact with the woman, who said Judy was angry because the other person began recording her and Judy\u2019s argument.<\/p>\n
Judy was asked to come towards the officer, and when he did, police said Judy was yelling and acting as if he would hit the officer.<\/p>\n
The report states the officer ordered Judy to stop as he began to walk away and grabbed his shirt. Judy turned toward the officer \u201cin a fighting stance,\u201d then the officer took Judy to the ground.<\/p>\n
During a struggle, the officer\u2019s finger was broken.<\/p>\n
Judy ran away from the officer and got into a vehicle. The report states Judy had turned the vehicle towards the officer in an attempt to hit him.<\/p>\n
The vehicle got so close to the officer that police said he had to jump into a bed of thorn bushes to avoid being hit.<\/p>\n
A second victim, who was receiving a delivery at the time, was also nearly hit by Judy\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n
Police said a third victim has been following Judy in his truck and pulled up next to him at a stop sign. Judy turned his truck towards the third victim attempting to hit him.<\/p>\n
While doing this, Judy\u2019s truck spun out in the roadway. The third victim attempted to get away from Judy\u2019s truck during this time.<\/p>\n
Judy is said to have sped off from the area, hitting a parked vehicle and driving through several yards to escape police.<\/p>\n
The officer said he attempted to pull Judy over with lights and sirens activated. Police said most of the incident was captured on bodycam footage.<\/p>\n
Following investigation, officials identified Judy as a possible suspect and arrested him Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Police said the officer was treated at the hospital for a broken finger, which may need surgery, according to the report.<\/p>\n
Judy was booked in Metro Corrections on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
In court on Thursday, Judy pleaded not guilty. A judge placed his bond at $50,000 full cash and would be placed on home incarceration if posted.<\/p>\n
His next court date is scheduled for January 6, 2023.
