High-Speed Pursuit Ends with Multiple Charges
In one of the most serious incidents, Everette Tabor, 43, of Marion, Kentucky, was arrested on January 15 following a high-speed pursuit on Interstate 24. Deputies responded to a report of a stolen black Dodge Charger entering Marshall County from McCracken County. The vehicle had been reported stolen to Hopkinsville Police Department.
McCracken County Sheriff’s Office initially attempted to stop the vehicle, but Tabor allegedly failed to yield. Marshall County deputies took over the pursuit and attempted to box in the fleeing vehicle. According to authorities, Tabor used the stolen vehicle to strike a deputy’s patrol car before continuing to flee at speeds reaching at least 100 mph.
After Tabor exited the interstate, deputies utilized a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT maneuver) to stop the vehicle and take him into custody. A search of the car revealed a glass smoking device containing methamphetamine and a syringe. Tabor also had an active parole violation warrant for absconding parole supervision, failure to cooperate with his parole officer, and failure to report a change of address. McCracken County Sheriff’s Office also charged him with receiving stolen property.
