MCCRACKEN COUNTY, Ky. (KBSI) – A Paducah man faces several charges after sheriff’s deputies say he ran away from a deputy during a traffic stop.

Christopher Burrow, 39, of Paducah faces charges of no operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, operating on a suspended/revoked license, speeding 26+ miles per hour over speed limit, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, possession of controlled substance (cocaine), fleeing and evading police (motor vehicle & on foot), disregarding stop sign and no tail lamps.

McCracken County Sheriff’s Deputy Brendan Weldon tried to conduct a traffic enforcement stop on a driver in the area of Goodman Street & S. 28th Street around 11:14 p.m. on Thursday, July 18.
