The driver of the vehicle, 36-year-old Jonathan Smith of Hopkinsville, attempted to flee from officers and was finally stopped in the 5000 block of Lafayette Rd. Smith refused to cooperate with deputies and resisted arrest. Once in custody, Smith admitted to fleeing because he had a warrant out of Montgomery County Tennessee.
