MARTIN, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Floyd County man is facing meth trafficking and fleeing charges after deputies say he led them on a pursuit in the Martin area.

Authorities say 25-year-old Cory Don Patton of Printer fled when a Floyd County Sheriff's deputy attempted a traffic stop on June 9. After briefly losing sight of him, the deputy located him again, but he allegedly tried to escape a second time before crashing his motorcycle on a muddy road and running away on foot.

Patton was taken into custody a short distance later and the deputy reported finding approximately 14 to 15 grams of suspected methamphetamine in his possession.

Patton was lodged in the Floyd County Detention Center on charges including first-degree meth trafficking, second-degree fleeing or evading police by motor vehicle, second-degree fleeing or evading police on foot, and several traffic-related offenses.
