Hit and run, pursuit ends in truck fire
PIKEVILLE, KY – On Monday, August 17, Kentucky State Police received a call concerning a hit and run on U.S. 23 near Dorton. While enroute, a civilian called in to KSP Post 9 to report they had almost been hit by a white Chevrolet Silverado with a blown tire on U.S. 23 headed toward Pikeville and they had followed the truck to the Industrial Park.
KSP officers intercepted the truck at the industrial park and instructed the driver – 49-year-old Timothy Bolden, of Jenkins – to pull over. Officers reported Bolden “was observed with a thousand yard stare and did not reply to commands.” Officers then used “stop sticks” to deflate the driver-side front tire. At this point the vehicle got stuck in the mud, but Bolden “continued to red line the vehicle,” causing it to catch fire. After Bolden made no move to exit the truck, KSP and Pikeville police officers promptly removed him. He was transported to Pikeville Medical Center for treatment.
Bolden has been charged with fleeing and evading police (1st degree felony), leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving, operating a vehicle under the influence, driving without a license, failure to wear a seatbelt, and various other charges. He is currently being held at the Pike County Detention Center.
