Kentucky State Police stopped Rice for speeding on US 79 in April, but he allegedly accelerated again after being ordered out of his car, nearly dragging a trooper who had opened his door under the vehicle.

Jesse McLendon was indicted or flagrant non-support and for being a persistent felony offender; Billy Garrett is facing indictment for possession of meth and drug paraphernalia; and Christian Eggen is charged with meth, marijuana and gun charges.

Indicted for second-degree assault (domestic violence) is James Mann.
