High speed pursuit ends with arrest of Illinois man

A high-speed pursuit that began on the Pennyrile Parkway in Christian County Sunday morning ended at the Tennesee Welcome Center along I-24 in Montgomery County with the arrest of an Illinois man.

Christian County Sheriff’s Sgt. Jeff Goulet says he attempted to stop 42-year old Harold Warren of Rockford, Illinois for speeding, but he accelerated and eventually took Fort Campbell Boulevard southbound.

Warren eventually got onto I-24 and an attempt to hide out behind the Tennessee Welcome Center , but was unsuccessful when a local deputy located him and detained him until a THP trooper could place him under arrest.

Warren is in the Montgomery County Jail awaiting extradition back to Kentucky to face charges of fleeing or evading police, wanton endangerment, driving with a revoked license, improper passing and disregarding a traffic control device.
