A man was arrested early Monday morning after he crashed into a utility pole on Harrison Street in Hopkinsville and then fled the scene.
Hopkinsville police say 26-year old Tyler Brinkerhoff of Hopkinsville left the scene after crashing into and splitting the pole in front of Pennyrile Electric a little before 3:30 a.m.
He was later found at a residence along with his damaged vehicle and he allegedly became aggressive with officers before being taken into custody.
Brinkerhoff was transported to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for evaluation and an arrest citation says he admitted to personnel there that he struck the pole and other mistakes he had made.
He was arrested following treatment at Jennie Stuart and charged with leaving the scene of an accident and resisting arrest. The collision report lists alcohol involvement among the factors in the crash.
