On May 9, 2025. An officer from the Hazel Green Police Department was operating an unmarked Dodge Durango when he observed a gray Nissan Altima with two occupants inside. The officer recognized the occupants and knew that the driver (James) had an active warrant. After dispatch confirmed the warrant, the officer activated his emergency lights and conducted a traffic stop.
The officer exited his squad car and asked James if he had identification. James stated that he was not going to provide his ID and told the officer that he was out of his jurisdiction and had no right to pull him over. The officer advised James that the reason for the traffic stop was because he had a warrant for his arrest.
The passenger (Windy) began exiting the vehicle as James started to roll up his window. The officer then opened the drivers door and James began resisting attempts to remove him from the vehicle. After a short struggle, James put his vehicle in drive and fled from the scene. The officer ran back to his squad car and began pursuing James. The pursuit ranged from speeds of 45-60 MPH and was terminated due to reckless driving.
The officer then began searching for Windy and located her walking along the shoulder of the highway. Windy asked where James went and was questioning if he really had a warrant. Windy went on to explain that the vehicle was currently in someone else's name but she was in the process of purchasing it. The officer offered Windy a ride back home and she agreed. A few days later, the officer spoke with Windy who stated that she had recovered the vehicle from James.
James was later apprehended by another agency and found guilty for Vehicle Operator Fleeing or Eluding an Officer and Knowingly Violating a Domestic Abuse Order. He was sentenced to two years in prison and three years of extended supervision.
