Pike County Woman Leads Matewan Police On Wild Chase
KENTUCKY....
When West Virginia State police pulled over Jennie Baldridge of Pike County, Kentucky for driving with an expired MVI sticker on her license plate Thursday night in Matewan, they were not fully prepared for the chase that followed. While the trooper was writing up the paperwork, Baldridge sped away, stopping after she wrecked her vehicle. Once in custody, she managed to climb over the back seat of the cruiser, get behind the wheel and put the car in drive. A trooper leaned into the passenger side window to try and put the car in park before shooting out the front tire and being thrown from the cruiser. Baldridge continued to drive away and ended up wrecking about a mile away where she hit a guardrail and a steep embankment. After finally being arrested, she is charged with two counts of unlawful assault, DUI, Fleeing DUI with property damage, grand larceny for stealing the cruiser and driving revoked for a DUI.
