High Speed Chase In Powell County
KENTUCKY...
An eastern Kentucky man is in custody after leading police on a high speed chase.
An officer was called to a home in Powell County after a report of a theft. He found 25-year-old William Napier passed out in a truck with the engine running.
Investigators say when the officer tried to awake Napier, Napier tried to run him over. That's when the officer opened fire, shooting out the truck's tires. Napier tried to get away on foot, but was arrested after officers tased him.
Investigators found marijuana, syringes and a large knife while searching Napier's truck.
