JUVENILE LEADS SOUTH LOGAN POLICE ON CHASE
On November 29, 2025, at 3:53 p.m., Adairville Police Chief Aaron Ashby observed a red 2002 Chevy Silverado traveling southbound on Highway 431S while driving recklessly. Chief Ashby conducted a traffic stop near Smiths Grove Road.
Despite repeated requests from Ashby for the driver to exit the vehicle, the operator refused to comply. With the driver's door locked, Ashby reached into the vehicle to unlock it. At that moment, the operator attempted to roll the window up while the officer's arm was still inside, then put the truck in drive.
The operator fled the scene, speeding recklessly and crossing the state line into Tennessee. The pursuit lasted approximately ten miles when the police departments of Robertson County and Springfield, Tennessee, attempted to stop the vehicle by deploying spike strips. The operator tried to avoid the strips and evade Tennessee police and turned onto Main Street in Springfield, where he overcorrected, causing the truck to flip multiple times.
The operator exited through the driver's window and fled on foot. Adairville K-9 Officer Luna was deployed for apprehension, at which time Ashby discovered the operator to be a 17-year-old juvenile male. The juvenile was taken into custody without further incident.
There were no other occupants in the vehicle. The pending charges against the juvenile are wanton endangerment first degree on a police officer, fleeing and evading police second degree motor vehicle, fleeing and evading police second degree on foot, resisting arrest, and multiple other traffic offenses. There are no pending charges out of Tennessee.
The juvenile was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a local hospital and was then released to his guardian. The Adairville Police Department received assistance from the Springfield Police Department and the Robertson County Sheriff's Office.
