The Christian County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Hopkinsville man following a high speed pursuit Tuesday afternoon on the Pennyrile Parkway.

According to a news release, Deputy Clevin Robinson attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a motorcycle for speeding on the Pennyrile Parkway around 2 p.m. near the one-mile marker in the northbound lanes. The motorcyclist reportedly failed to stop and accelerated, starting a pursuit that went into Pembroke before coming to a stop.

Deputies were able to get the motorcycle stopped at the intersection of Pembroke Road and Highway 115—the driver, 22-year old Chace Storie of Hopkinsville was taken into custody without incident or injury.

He is charged with fleeing or evading police, multiple counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, criminal mischief, reckless driving and several traffic violations.
