FREEBURN, Ky. — A Pike County man is in jail on felony charges, after allegedly trying to flee from police in two states while operating a side-by-side.

Kentucky State Police was notified by the Mingo County Sheriff’s Office Wednesday night that they were chasing some people on side-by-sides, and they appeared to be heading toward Kentucky.

State troopers posted up at the Vulcan Bridge at Freeburn with their lights off and waited for the suspects to come to them. Once the suspects got halfway across the bridge, the troopers turned on their lights and blocked the exit.

That apparently didn’t deter Lucas Hunt, 24, of Stopover, because he allegedly rammed one of the state police cruisers. Police say he then backed up and tried to go around the state car, when he ran into the open door of a Mingo County sheriff’s cruiser and tried to go through it.

He gave up after police used a taser on him.

Hunt was arrested and charged with fleeing police, five counts of wanton endangerment of a police officer, one count of wanton endangerment, and several other charges.
