Ryan Cheyenne Patterson, 18 of Plainville, was arrested this week after reports said he lead Floyd County Police on reckless chase.
According to the arrest reports, the incident began when Patterson exited a parking lot on North Fifth Avenue and allegedly performed a burnout by simultaneously applying the accelerator and brake pedals.
Investigators said Patterson then turned onto Third Avenue, traveling at approximately 40 miles per hour in a posted 25-mile-per-hour zone.
When an officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop, Patterson allegedly refused to stop and swerved around another officer who was directing traffic, nearly striking him.
Authorities said Patterson continued to accelerate and ran a stop sign at the intersection of Third Avenue and Second Street before being taken into custody. Police went on to say that Patterson was driving under the influence of two or more substances.
Patterson is charged with underage furnishing of alcohol, DUI, aggressive driving, attempting to elude police, operation of an unregistered vehicle, laying drag and a stop sign violation.
