Mayfield Man Charged with DUI, Other Offenses

A Mayfield man was charged Saturday on multiple offenses, including DUI, after leading law enforcement on a vehicle chase.

The Graves County Sheriff's Department reports that at 7:53 am, a sergeant clocked a vehicle on KY 58 East at 71 mph in a 45 mph speed zone. 

He then activated his emergency equipment to stop the vehicle and the driver fled. The vehicle crossed the KY 121 By-Pass at over 100 mph and continued on East Broadway into the city limits of Mayfield, turning south onto Tice Road. 

Officers with the Mayfield Police Department and other Graves County Sheriff's deputies patrolled the area in an attempt to locate the vehicle. 

A short time later, while deputies checked areas that witnesses had called about seeing the vehicle, it passed by. At this point, the driver fled North on I-69 and exited on KY 131, headed North. 

The truck was located near the intersection of KY 131 and Spence Chapel Rd. 

After a search of the area, 35-year-old Daniel B. Rust, was located and taken into custody.

Rust was charged with 2nd offense operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol/drugs (aggravating circumstances), second offense driving on a DUI suspended license (aggravating circumstances), speeding 26 mph or greater over the speed limit, first degree wanton endangerment, first degree fleeing or evading police in a motor vehicle, reckless driving, and improper passing.
