Man arrested after chase
HARRODSBURG — A 27-year-old Salvisa man is in custody on a $5,000 cash bond after allegedly trying to evade Harrodsburg police officers.
Jeremy B. Vanwinkle, 27, of 3343 Talmadge-Mayo Road in Salvisa, is in the Boyle County Detention Center on charges of first-degree fleeing or evading police, reckless driving and an unrelated contempt of court warrant. Vanwinkle was also cited for several traffic offenses.
The charges stemmed from an incident Tuesday night in downtown Harrodsburg, when a police officer tried to stop Vanwinkle’s Toyota because he was not wearing a seat belt. Vanwinkle allegedly tried to get away from police, running a red light in the process and driving recklessly. He abandoned his car in a Chiles Street parking lot and tried to get away on foot, according to the police report. Within a few minutes, officers arrested Vanwinkle.
