BELFRY, Ky. — A Mingo County man is facing a long list of charges after attempting to run from a roadblock in Pike County.

Pike County sheriff’s deputies had set up a checkpoint on Toler Road just before midnight Friday, when they spotted a car driven by Cody Allen Blankenship, 26, of Williamson, approach and then turn around in a church parking lot at a high rate of speed.

Deputies pursued and say that Blankenship was driving reckless on both sides of the road, before cutting through a yard and then stopping after the car hit a tree stump. Police say Blankenship then ran into a trailer that didn’t belong to him before he was ultimately arrested.

Deputies say Blankenship told them he ran from the roadblock because he had smoked some meth shortly before encountering it. He was arrested for DUI, fleeing police, wanton endangerment and numerous traffic violations.

Police also discovered a warrant for his arrest in Mingo County for not showing up to court to answer drug charges.

He is currently being held in the Pike County Detention Center.
