GRAVES COUNTY, KY — A Tennessee man, Chad Bradley, 48, was arrested early Tuesday morning following a high-speed vehicle chase and foot pursuit in Wingo, according to the Graves County Sheriff’s Office.
Sgt. Garret Clark was patrolling near the Wingo city limits around 2:35 a.m. when he spotted two vehicles parked behind a closed business. Upon attempting contact, the driver of a black Ford Explorer sped off, leading deputies on a 10-minute chase. The SUV eventually ran off the road, crashing through a fence into a field.
Bradley fled the scene on foot but was quickly apprehended without further incident. He was wanted on multiple outstanding warrants, including a parole violation.
At the time of arrest, Bradley was found to be in possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and just under a pound of methamphetamine.
He faces numerous charges, including first-degree methamphetamine trafficking (first offense), first-degree fleeing or evading police, first-degree criminal mischief, DUI (first offense), parole and probation violations, failure to appear, plus other traffic and drug-related offenses.
Deputies Austin Caldwell, Austin Ramage, and Zac Smith assisted Sgt. Clark, alongside support from the Wingo Fire Department, Mayfield-Graves County EMS, and Kentucky State Police Dispatch.
Bradley was turned over to Graves County Jail staff following his arrest.
