A 30-year old Cleveland man faces several charges after police say he failed to stop for a Cleveland officer early Thursday.
A news release for White County Sheriff’s office said White County Deputies assisted the Cleveland Police Department in an early morning traffic stop, around Highway 129 at the Appalachian Parkway.
According to officials, Cleveland police officers attempted to stop a vehicle just before 4 a.m. on some traffic offenses. The vehicle failed to stop and turned onto Albert Reid Road, “traveling at a high rate of speed.”
The driver lost control of his vehicle around the 1600 block of Highway 75 Alternate, leaving the roadway and coming to rest in a ditch.
The driver, identified as Jared Cowen Richardson of Cleveland, left the vehicle and was later apprehended behind a nearby residence. The driver was evaluated by White County EMS and then transported to the White County Detention Center.
Richardson faces charges from both Cleveland Police and White County Sheriff’s office.
