Pikeville Man Arrested After DUI Chase in Stolen Car

A Pikeville man is behind bars for an alleged DUI chase in a stolen car.

Pikeville Police say they wanted to talk to Jacob Wilson for a previous disturbance call when officers tried to pull him over downtown.

When they followed him they say he blew through stop signals and drove the wrong direction on a one-way street at 55 mph.

After slamming the car into a concrete post Wilson ran but was caught a few blocks away.

Two officers were hurt in the pursuit – one during the car chase and another while jumping a fence.

Wison is charged with DUI, evading, criminal mischief and a long list of traffic violations.
