  1. On Thursday, July 13th, 2023, around 7:25am, Sheriff’s Office personnel were called upon to assist Kentucky State Police (KSP) Troopers who had attempted to stop a blue Mitsubishi SUV on I-24 West bound. The driver of the vehicle fled from the Trooper and exited off the West bound off-ramp at Exit 45 before disregarding the stop sign and nearly colliding with a Chevrolet truck before impacting the raised concrete median and losing his driver’s side front wheel. After the collision, the driver exited the vehicle and fled on foot carrying two bags.

 

Witnesses provided information to law enforcement concerning the direction of travel the suspect fled to.  A KSP Trooper saw the suspect on foot flee into a ditch line and called for assistance. Troopers and Sheriff’s personnel established a perimeter in a field area off KY 293 and the suspect was apprehended a short time later. Further investigation led to the seizure of multiple items of evidence including the bags the suspect fled with from the vehicle.

 

The driver was identified as Anthony I. Williams (40) of Brooklyn Center, MN.  He was charged by KSP with numerous traffic offenses including driving 116mph in a 70mph zone, Fleeing/Evading Police-1st Degree (motor vehicle & on foot) as well as Wanton Endangerment-1st Degree, and Leaving the Scene of an Accident.  He was also found to possess illegal narcotics, ammunition and a .357 handgun he had attempted to discard during the foot pursuit.

 

In addition, Williams was a wanted fugitive from the Minnesota Department of Corrections where he violated parole for a Murder-2nd Degree conviction and he was wanted from Minneapolis, MN for Possession of Ammo/Any Firearm-Conviction or Adjudicated Delinquent for a Crime of Violence.  He was also charged with being a Fugitive from Justice for these offenses.  Williams was lodged in the Crittenden County Detention Center.
