A juvenile was charged after leading law enforcement on a pursuit in Trigg County Saturday afternoon.
Trigg County Sheriff’s deputies say they attempted to stop an eastbound car on US 68 near State Park Road and the driver fled at speeds of 140 mph.
The juvenile driver then reportedly begin to race with a second vehicle on US 68 while being pursued by law enforcement. The vehicle he was racing turned onto South Road and headed towards Stewart County, Tennessee, and was not located by law enforcement.
The pursuit ended when the driver noticed more law enforcement agencies were ahead of them on US 68 in the area of Lakota Drive and he came to a stop.
Deputies say two other juveniles were in the car during the pursuit. The driver was arrested and charged with first-degree fleeing or evading police, DUI, reckless driving, racing, possession of marijuana, and two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.
