South Williamson man arrested after fleeing police on foot
SOUTH WILLIAMSON, Ky. – A Pike County man was arrested Wednesday after fleeing police in a lengthy game of cat and mouse when officers said he was found squatting in the building of a former business in South Williamson.
Christian Stanley, 29, of New Camp Road in South Williamson, was taken into custody just after 6 p.m. Wednesday evening after police said they received a squatting complaint around 4:30 p.m. at the Custom Print and Design building, which, according to court documents, is now owned by the Pike County government.
The arresting officer cited, “Due to previous complaints at this location I was aware that this building is owned by the county due to recent flooding events back in February of 2025.”
When police arrived to begin an initial sweep of the location, which had been used as an apartment in the past, they reported after getting to the last room, they saw that a window was broken out giving access in. It was then police said they heard footsteps and a voice telling someone to run.
Police retraced their steps to outside the building in hopes of cutting off anyone who may have fled. It was then Stanley was spotted.
“When I exited the building, I noticed a male wearing blue overalls and a brown jacket running from the back door towards the flood wall,” the citation read.
After catching up to Stanley, officers then chased him on foot and tackled him for the arrest.
When they searched Stanley’s legal background, he was found to have an active bench warrant for failing to appear for court in a separate case. He was charged with fleeing or evading police and lodged in the Pike County Detention Center.
Stanley was given a $5,000 full cash bond and pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Thursday morning.
