A Philpot man was arrested after he led officers in a pursuit for eight miles.
Kentucky State Police troopers responded to a backup request from Daviess County Sheriff’s Office on a terroristic threatening complaint at a residence on KY 764 Thursday night.
When authorities arrived, they observed Jonathan D. Mattingly, 29, of Philpot, getting into his vehicle refusing to stop for the on-scene deputies. Troopers arrived as Mattingly was leaving the driveway. KSP attempted to perform a traffic stop on Mattingly but he failed to comply. The pursuit went for eight-miles to Mattingly’s residence on KY 144 in Philpot.
Mattingly attempted to run inside his house but troopers and deputies were able to confront him. Mattingly would not comply and took an aggressive stance towards the officers. One trooper deployed his issued Taser, but Mattingly continued to resist. DCSO released their canine, which ultimately helped troopers, and deputies gain compliance.
Mattingly was transported to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital for treatment then Daviess County Detention Center in Owensboro.
Mattingly was charged by Kentucky State Police with the following offenses:
- Wanton Endangerment 1st Degree-Police Officer
- Reckless Driving
- Fleeing/Evading 1st Degree (Motor Vehicle)
- Driving Under the Influence 2nd
- Resisting Arrest
- Disregarding Stop Sign
- No Insurance
