Robert A Magditch, 21 of Versailles, Kentucky, was arrested in Rome after reports said he led police on a chase after stealing $19.23 worth of stickers from Murphy’s Gas Station at the East Rome Walmart.
Police said that they found Magditch sitting in his car behind Walmart. When they asked him to exit the vehicle, he refused and fled the scene.
After hitting a sign on Biddy Road, Magditch was once again ordered to exit the vehicle.
Officers added that it was then discovered that he had been driving under the influence of some type of substance.
On his way to the hospital to be checked out, Magditch told officers that “if he left this county without his bracket that he would find me and put a bullet in my head.”
After arriving at the jail, Magditch repeated the threat to jail officers.
Magditch is charged with DUI, two counts obstruction, terroristic threats, theft by receiving stolen property, improper backing, two counts failure to maintain lane, theft by shoplifting, attempting to elude police, driving on the wrong side of the roadway, too fast for conditions, running a stop sign, reckless driving, headlight violation and driving an unregistered vehicle.
