Police Chase Ends In Murder Charge
KENTUCKY...
A Kentucky man has been charged with murder days after a high-speed chase with police that ended with one person dead. 24-year-old Brandon Lee Jessie of Knob Lick is also charged with four counts of assault stemming from the chase and three-car wreck. Kentucky State Police said Jessie was driving a stolen Mitsubishi Outlander when he ducked around tire-deflation strips, ran through an intersection and slammed into a Lincoln Town Car. The driver of that car, 36-year-old James E. Fentress Jr., was pronounced dead at the scene. Four other people were injured when a third car was struck during the wreck. Jessie was in serious but stable condition Tuesday at University Hospital in Louisville.
