A Nelson County man faces charges after allegedly assaulting an officer when attempting to flee a traffic stop. 

Dustin M. Thompson of New Hope faces multiple charges including Strangulation, Assault of a Police Officer, and Disarming a Peace Officer following his arrest Friday.

According to the Kentucky State Police, shortly after midnight on June 7 a trooper attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle on Charlestown Road for a traffic violation. The KSP says the driver of the vehicle did not stop when the trooper activated his emergency lights and began to flee.

The pursuit continued into Marion County on Sulphur Lick Road and ended when the vehicles reached a dead end. The KSP says the driver, later identified as Thompson, exited the vehicle and fled into a wooded area. The pursuing trooper was able to catch up to Thompson, at which time the KSP says he assaulted the officer and fled the area.

Troopers and other area law enforcement began searching the area for Thompson. The KSP posted on Facebook shortly before noon Friday that Thompson had been apprehended. He was booked into the Marion County Detention Center at 1:41 p.m. Friday.

The KSP says the trooper was treated for injuries at an area hospital and has since been released.
