There were three separate pursuits over the weekend in Christian County, and three individuals are facing multiple charges in relation to those incidents.
According to a news release from the Christian County Sheriff’s Department, all three occurred on Sunday, with the first taking place around noon when deputies attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by 18-year-old Trevor Towner of Benton that was allegedly speeding on the Pennyrile Parkway. Towner failed to stop and continued off the Parkway and onto Greenville Road, though the pursuit did come to a stop and he was taken into custody. He is charged with three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, fleeing or evading police and several traffic violations.
The second pursuit occurred around 4:40 p.m. when deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by 18-year-old Hannah Williams of Hopkinsville in the area of Pembroke Road and Casky Lane. She was allegedly driving 125 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour zone and reportedly failed to stop for deputies, continuing on to Casky Lane before eventually sliding off the road. Williams was charged with second-degree wanton endangerment, second-degree fleeing or evading police and speeding.
Then around 11:15 p.m., deputies attempted to stop a motorcycle driven by 29-year-old Hakeem Brown—he was allegedly passing vehicles into oncoming traffic. Brown allegedly attempted to flee when deputies activated their lights, beginning a pursuit in downtown Hopkinsville that ended in the area of South O’Neal Avenue when he wrecked the motorcycle. Brown was charged with fleeing or evading police, careless driving, reckless driving and numerous traffic violations.
