Trooper M. Cline tried to stop a white pickup driven by Keenan Critten, 43, for failure to use signals. Critten ignored the flashing lights and siren and sped off. Officer Cline pursued Critten through Jamesport. Critten failed to signal, failed to stop at stop signs, and failed to drive on the right side of the road.
The pursuit didn’t end until Critten crashed his vehicle on Kite Avenue. Cline reports in the probable cause statement that Critten stated he fled because he was driving drunk and didn’t want to go to prison. Critten began a sobriety test and said he could not perform the examination because he was too drunk. A requested preliminary breath test revealed a positive 0.209%.
A background check showed that Critten had a revoked license and four previous DWI convictions. Critten was taken to Daviess DeKalb County Regional Jail with no bond.
