A vehicle chase Sunday night in McCracken County left a man facing numerous charges.

According to the McCracken County Sheriff's Department, at approximately 9:30 pm, deputies were advised of a dump truck driving recklessly coming into McCracken County from Ballard County. Deputies located the truck at a gas station on Alben Barkley Drive.

Contact was made with the driver and he was identified as 42-year-old Richard Hack, of Herndon, KY. While deputies were speaking with Hack, they were approached by another citizen who was needing assistance with directions. As deputies attempted to also assist this citizen, Hack pulled away in the truck and began fleeing from deputies.

Hack fled from deputies until his truck became stuck in a yard on Colonial Drive. Unable to drive further, Hack fled on foot, but was quickly captured.

It was discovered Hack had an active warrant for his arrest out of Illinois. He was arrested and lodged in the McCracken County Regional Jail.

Hack was charged with fleeing or evading police,  disregarding a stop sign, disregarding a traffic light, criminal mischief, resisting arrest, assault 3rd degree (police officer), license to be in possession, and an Illinois warrant for probation violation.
