STANFORD — A Pulaski County man who led authorities on an off-road pursuit up a creek May 31 was indicted Friday by a Lincoln County grand jury.

Rodney H. Davis, of 3790 Ky. 70 in Eubank, faces one count of possession of a handgun by a felon, one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, two counts of first-degree criminal mischief and one count of second-degree fleeing and evading police.

Pulaski Sheriff John Wood told The Interior Journal June 1 that a pair of his deputies were helping a probation and parole officer locate Davis, who was wanted for violating his parole.

After one of the deputies spotted Davis in a pickup truck, Davis fled, driving along roads and going off-road multiple times along the Lincoln and Pulaski county line, Wood said.

Davis drove his truck up a creek before a Pulaski deputy side-swiped his vehicle, forcing him to stop.

Davis was initially jailed for violating his parole. Wood said at the time that a handgun and a rifle were found in Davis' truck and the Pulaski Sheriff's Office would be working with the Lincoln County Commonwealth's attorney on charges relating to the pursuit because it occurred in Lincoln County.
