Lee County man charged after chase in Magoffin County

MAGOFFIN COUNTY, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Lee County man was arrested Sunday after Magoffin County deputies said he led them on a chase in the Salyersville area.

 

According to an arrest citation, deputies were patrolling Ky. 30 about three miles from Salyersville when they spotted a moped with no working rear lights and a dim headlight.

 

The citation said the moped had two people on it, including 35-year-old Timothy Chambers of Zoe. Deputies said Chambers then turned abruptly into a driveway.

 

According to police, the passenger got off the moped and ran toward the Licking River.

 

After deputies stopped the moped, Chambers allegedly resisted arrest. Police said they also found a meth pipe in his possession that he tried to throw away.

 

The passenger was also arrested, but was not identified in the citation.

 

Chambers was charged with first-degree fleeing or evading police in a motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle under the influence, resisting arrest, possession of drug paraphernalia, menacing, criminal littering and no operator’s license for a moped.

 

He was taken to and lodged at the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville.
