A man out of Pike County is now in jail after police say he led them on a chase.

 

A trooper with the Kentucky State Police is said to have clocked a car traveling at 85 miles per hour on US 23, near Dorton.

 

The driver attempted to pull the vehicle over, but wouldn’t stop.

 

According to the trooper who made the arrest, the driver is said to have slammed onto his brakes- at least four times in what appeared to be an attempt to cause the officer to crash into his vehicle.

 

The vehicle eventually came to a stop on Bear Fork. The driver, 21-year-old Jimmy Hunt, was arrested. He now faces charges of fleeing police, wanton endangerment, resisting arrest, and several traffic violations.
