LOUISVILLE, Ky. — After police arrested a suspect wanted for multiple violent felonies, he pleaded not guilty to all of his charges.
According to a post Louisville Metro Police made on Facebook, detectives were looking for 42-year-old Timothy Edison, who is wanted for multiple violent felonies.
Police said they found Edison leaving a location in his white SUV. Detectives tried to conduct a felony traffic stop, but they said he "wasn't having it". Edison ended up driving away and crashing into several police cars.
Officers said they chased him to the Greenwood boat docks where he jumped into the water and started swimming to Indiana.
LMPD deployed their water assets, but officers said at one point Edison was almost on the banks of Indiana. There were officers waiting for him there, so he turned around.
Eventually, police were able to make the arrest and pulled him in to their boat.
Edison is facing a slew of charges including strangulation, unlawful imprisonment, wanton endangerment, assault, and violation of EPO/DVO.
He will now be seen by LMDC's Mental Health Services.
The judge set Edison's bond at $100,000, and if his bond is posted he will be placed on Home Incarceration Program and will have no contact with the Greenwood Boat Docks.
His preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 26 at 9:00 a.m.
