Central City Man Charged After Running From Police In Hopkinsville

A Central City man was charged after he fled on foot from law enforcement on West 7th Street in Hopkinsville Thursday night.

Hopkinsville Police say 26-year-old Zackery King was stopped after a report of a stolen vehicle in the area and during the stop, he would not comply with law enforcement demands.

A taser was reportedly used and King then fled running down into a ravine and continued to resist arrest by trying to pull away from officers.

Police say he was taken into custody after they used pain compliance strikes. He was allegedly found to have a suspended license along with a glass pipe and a black scale in the vehicle.

King is charged with receiving stolen property, first-degree fleeing or evading police, operating on a suspended or revoked license, resisting arrest, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
