A Tennessee man was arrested near the Russell Springs exit on the Cumberland Parkway Thursday evening following a high-speed pursuit, according to the Adair County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the report, an Adair County deputy attempted to stop a 2018 Chevy Malibu driving east on the parkway at more than 100 miles per hour Thursday evening at around 5:30 p.m.
The vehicle ignored law enforcement and continued traveling east on the parkway with law enforcement officers from the Russell Springs Police Department, Russell County Sheriff’s Office, and Kentucky State Police joining in the pursuit.
