The pursuit began when Daviess County Deputy K. Cornett attempted to make a traffic stop on a silver Honda Accord that was northbound on I-35 at the 66 mile marker traveling in excess of 90 miles per hour. The driver failed to yield to the deputy’s emergency lights and siren. He was pursued for approximately 25 miles, with the pursuit ending at the 91.6 mile marker in Harrison County.
Anderson reached speeds of 105 mph, as well as passing two vehicles on the outside shoulder of I-35 during the chase. As he was being taken into custody, he attempted to retrieve a hatchet from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The attempt was unsuccessful, however, and he was taken into custody without further incident.
An immediate search of his vehicle led to the discovery of methamphetamine. He has been charged with felonies of possession of controlled substance and resisting arrest and misdemeanors of assault fourth degree, speeding, and careless and imprudent driving.
He was transported to Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail, and bond was denied.
