A Leitchfield man has been arrested after being found passed out in a vehicle in the middle of the road before fleeing Leitchfield police through multiple yards.
Friday night at approximately 11:30, Leitchfield Police Department Sgt. Keith Harrell and Officers DJ Newton and Hunter Miller responded to the 500 block of Aaron Way after 911 caller reported a running car stopped in the middle of the road for several minutes.
Upon police arriving on scene, they made contact with 26-year-old Bailey D. Hack, who was passed out in a Honda passenger car in the middle of the road. Upon waking Hack, he sped away for a few hundred feet before Aaron Way makes a hard left turn (prior to the street coming to a dead end). He made the turn and almost immediately made another left turn into a side yard.
Hack traveled through the side yard and into the back yard of a home and the front yard of another residence before coming to a stop partially on the roadway, nearly where officers originally found him. Hack then ran from officers and attempted to hide behind a residence but was quickly captured.
During his attempt to flee police, Hack damaged private property, including a mailbox that was found on the Honda’s hood.
During a search of Hack’s vehicle, police found spice (synthetic marijuana).
Hack was charged with two counts of fleeing or evading police (motor vehicle, on foot), his second DUI (aggravating circumstances), possession of synthetic drugs (at least his second such offense), third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, third-degree criminal trespassing, failure to maintain insurance, and no registration plates.
He was transported to Owensboro Health Twin Lakes Medical Center for medical clearance and then lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center. He is no longer listed as an inmate.
