\nA Louisville man who was acquitted for his stepbrother\u2019s murder as a teen is back in jail after attempting to escape from officers in a stolen vehicle.<\/p>\n
Joshua Young, 27, has been arrested multiple times since a high profile case where he was acquitted in 2013 for the murder of his 14-year-old stepbrother, Trey Zwicker.<\/p>\n
Josh Gouker, Young\u2019s father, pleaded guilty to Zwicker\u2019s murder and was sentenced to life in prison.<\/p>\n
Young\u2019s most recent arrest occurred on Saturday afternoon in the 3500 block of River Park Drive, according to an arrest report.<\/p>\n
Police said officers had noticed Young at the location cleaning a Nissan Altima that had been registered stolen out of Mayfield, Ky.<\/p>\n
Detectives noted Young had a warrant for his arrest and noticed him and a witness get into the car.<\/p>\n
Police said they turned on their lights and sirens in an attempt to stop the vehicle, but Young immediately attempted to flee the scene.<\/p>\n
The report states Young nearly struck a detective while attempting to escape.<\/p>\n
Police said Young continued to ram a detective\u2019s car and caused more than $1,000 to damages of surrounding properties.<\/p>\n
After a nearly 20 minute stand-off, officers said both Young and the witness were taken into custody.<\/p>\n
The witness told police Young had pointed a gun at him multiple times and forced him to eat narcotics, causing serious injury.<\/p>\n
Detectives noticed shards of suspected crystal methamphetamine on the driver floorboard, and following a search warrant, methamphetamine and a silver handgun was found under the rear passenger seat.<\/p>\n
Police charged Young with receiving stolen property, wanton endangerment, criminal mischief, fleeing or evading police, trafficking in controlled substances, assault and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.<\/p>\n
In court on Monday, Young entered a not guilty plea. A judge set Young\u2019s bond at $100,000 with home incarceration if posted.<\/p>\n
His next court date is set for March 21.
