A Princeton man was arrested on multiple charges including endangering a police officer after a pursuit in Caldwell County over the weekend.
Caldwell County Sheriff Don Weedman reports Deputy Mac Englebright was running radar on KY 293 South on Saturday when he observed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and attempted to make a traffic stop on Jo Jones Road. However, he says the vehicle didn’t stop and a pursuit ensued that continued on KY 293 South reaching speeds over 100 mph. The pursuit continued around the Caldwell County Courthouse until the vehicle stopped in the parking lot of Ms. Piggy Pig’s BBQ where 23-year old Dawson Teague was taken into custody.
Teague was charged with fleeing and evading police, wanton endangerment of a police officer, speeding, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was lodged in the Caldwell County Jail.
The sheriff’s office was assisted by the Princeton Police Department.
