LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville police arrested a man wanted on multiple felony charges after a police pursuit and short standoff at an apartment complex in Okolona.
According to police, the driver of a Ford Expedition pulling a trailer failed to yield when officers attempted a traffic stop on Falcon Crest Drive around 4:45 p.m. Thursday. As the driver fled, he struck a police car and led officers on a chase through parts of the metro area.
Video captured by the First Alert StormTeam Beast shows a green truck pulling a trailer leading police through a chase on New Cut Road. MetroSafe confirmed the truck is believed to be stolen.
Police said at one point the suspect abandoned the Expedition and got into another vehicle on Southern Parkway.
An LMPD spokesperson said officers stopped pursuing the suspect due to the suspect’s dangerous actions, which included driving against traffic and through yards. However, LMPD’s Air Unit continued following the suspect to an apartment complex on Woodcrest Dr. near Outer Loop.
The suspect was found barricaded inside an apartment, and when he refused to come out, SWAT was called to the scene.
The suspect, later identified as Daniel C. Allen, surrendered without incident and was taken into custody to be questioned.
Allen is facing additional charges from Thursday’s incident.
