MAYTOWN, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Floyd County man is facing multiple charges after leading deputies on a chase from December 26th.

According to an arrest citation, just before 5 p.m. Friday, a Floyd County deputy saw a motorcycle run a stop sign without signaling while turning onto Route 680 from Goose Creek Road. When the deputy activated his lights, the rider looked back and sped up instead of stopping.

The deputy reported pulling alongside the motorcycle in a passing zone to make sure the rider noticed him. At that point, the rider, later identified as Timothy Hall, 26, of Martin, made an obscene gesture and continued fleeing.

The pursuit continued onto Turkey Creek Road and into the Maytown area, winding through several streets before ending at a dead end. The deputy noted Hall rode past several children who were outside at the time, placing them in danger.

Hall then attempted to flee on foot but was stopped with a taser. During a search, deputies say they found approximately 15 grams of methamphetamine. Hall reportedly told officers that was why he ran.

He was arrested on charges including meth trafficking, fleeing police, wanton endangerment, and additional offenses.
