MAYTOWN, Ky. — A Floyd County man faces a long list of charges following a chase the day after Christmas.
Just before 5 p.m., Friday, a deputy sheriff spotted a motorcycle run a stop sign without signaling when turning onto Route 680 from Goose Creek Road. The deputy activated his lights to pull the bike over, but wrote that the operator, later identified as Timothy Hall, 26, of Martin, looked back at him and then sped up.
When the vehicles reached a passing zone, the deputy pulled up alongside the motorcycle to make sure Hall saw he was trying to pull him over. The deputy wrote in his report that Hall looked him in the eye and gave him the finger in response.
The chase continued onto Turkey Creek Road and into Maytown, winding along several streets until coming to a dead end. The officer noted Hall sped past several children playing outside, putting them in danger. The police report notes Hall then tried to run on foot but was quickly stopped with a taser.
Following his arrest, the deputy found 15 grams of meth, which Hall reportedly explained was the reason he fled. He was arrested for meth trafficking, fleeing police, wanton endangerment and several other charges.
