Man Hits Police Cruiser In Knott County
KENTUCKY....
Kentucky State Trooper Tony Watts says he was heading south on Highway 15 near Carr Creek Lake in Knott County when he noticed a car drifting to his side of the road. Watts says he attempted to move off the road to avoid a collision, but he was hit by a car driven by Paul Banks. Watts immediately called dispatchers and went to check on the people in the other car. During a search of the car, police found prescription medication not in the proper container which belonged to Johnathan Cornett, who was also in the car. Cornett was arrested and taken to Kentucky River Regional Jail in Hazard, while Banks was taken to the UK Hospital in Lexington.
