Floyd man facing multiple felonies after chase
DAVID, Ky. — A Floyd County man is facing multiple felony charges, following a police chase.
It happened around 10 a.m. Monday, when a state trooper patrolling near David spotted a car driving on the wrong side of the road and tried to pull it over. The driver — later identified as Jeffery Lumpkins, 39, of Hueysville — sped away instead, leading the officer on a chase along Route 850, 404 and 1210.
Lumpkins then turned onto an abandoned mine road near Alum Lick Road, then tried to run away on foot once the road came to a dead end. The officer caught up with him about two minutes later and placed him under arrest.
The officer wrote in his report that the pursuit reached speeds of up to 78 miles an hour, with Lumpkins consistently driving on the wrong side of the road, nearly hitting one oncoming motorist.
Lumpkins is now charged with fleeing police, wanton endangerment, wanton endangerment of a police officer and numerous traffic violations. He is being held on a $100,000 cash bond.
