Man facing several felonies after leading police on chase with baby and loaded guns in his truck through Douglas County
A Tennessee man faces several felonies after allegedly leading sheriff’s deputies on a 3.5 mile chase with a baby and loaded guns in his truck.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports 32-year-old Kenneth Jeremy Leedom of Woodbury, Tennessee was charged Monday with aggravated battery against a law enforcement officer, aggravated endangering of a child, attempting to elude a police officer and possession of stolen property.
His defense attorney did not immediately return a call Tuesday seeking comment.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says Leedom was arrested Sunday after driving off from a traffic stop. He allegedly rammed a patrol vehicle as deputies were trying to stop him.
The charges indicate the boy with him was 9 months old. A woman also was in the truck.
No one was injured.
