A Monday evening pursuit from Symsonia to Lowes in Graves County resulted in the arrest of a Paducah man.

A Graves County Sheriff's deputy was parked in front of Symsonia Elementary when just before 6:30 p.m someone got the deputy's attention to report a vehicle driven by someone they thought might be intoxicated.

The deputy located a vehicle matching the description and attempted to stop it, but the driver sped up, allegedly reaching nearly 100 mph. 

The pursuit traveled along KY 131 to I-69, north on US 45, then Key Bottom Road to KY 121. From there, the pursuit ran along KY 440, KY 408, and onto KY 339 toward Lowes.

The pursuit ended when the driver, 38-year-old Jura Dailey of Paducah, stopped the vehicle near the school in Lowes.

Deputies allegedly found marijuana in the vehicle. Dailey was charged with DUI, fleeing or evading police, speeding - 100 mph in a 55 mph zone, and wanton endangerment.
