PHELPS, Ky. — It took four tries, but police finally arrested a Pike County man who successfully evaded them on three previous occasions.

Tuesday afternoon, a state trooper spotted Nathan Scott, 25, of Phelps, hauling a trailer full of washers and dryers on Route 632. The officer knew Scott had successfully run from police three times in the past week, and when he tried to pull him over, the chase was on once again.

This time, Scott turned onto a dirt road to a strip job, losing all of the appliances from his trailer and then the trailer itself during the pursuit. Eventually, his truck stalled out and he tried to run away, but he was arrested after police deployed a taser.

Scott now faces a felony charge of fleeing from police, along with a long list of misdemeanors and traffic violations.
