A Kentucky State Police officer has been arrested for leading police on a chase through three counties, including Ballard, where he was spotted with an equipment violation and sped off on a highway. The chase began around 9 p.m. CT in Ballard County, where a trooper attempted to stop him but he failed to comply. The pursuit escalated into McCracken County where troopers used a tire deflation device but Crawford kept trying to flee, leading to another unsuccessful attempt. He was eventually stopped by another device and is charged with fleeing or evading, speeding, reckless driving, and other traffic-related offenses.
