Glasgow Man Arrested After High-Speed Motorcycle Chase Through Kentucky Town: ‘He Knew He Was Fleeing’
HORSE CAVE, KENTUCKY – A Kentucky man is facing a long list of charges after police say he sped through town at nearly 100 miles per hour on a motorcycle, weaving through traffic before finally pulling over and admitting he was trying to escape.
The Late-Night Chase in Horse Cave
According to a Kentucky State Police citation, troopers spotted a motorcycle flying north on South Dixie Street in Horse Cave — clocked at 94 mph in a 55 mph zone.
When officers activated their emergency lights and sirens, the rider didn’t stop. Instead, police say he kept speeding and improperly passed several vehicles before finally slowing down near Tommy Toms Road.
The pursuit ended when the motorcyclist pulled over and was detained without further incident.
The Suspect: 39-Year-Old From Glasgow
Authorities identified the rider as 39-year-old Andrew Olin of Glasgow, who allegedly told police he knew he had been “fleeing or evading” the trooper who tried to stop him.
“He knew exactly what he was doing,” one law enforcement source said. “It’s not every day you see someone casually admit to fleeing police.”
Olin was arrested and taken to Hart County Jail, where he was booked on several charges related to reckless driving and fleeing officers.
Laundry List of Charges
Court documents show Olin faces multiple offenses, including:
- Speeding 26 mph or more over the limit
- Reckless driving
- Second-degree fleeing or evading police (motor vehicle)
- No registration plates or receipt
- Failure to produce insurance card
- Failure to maintain required insurance (first offense)
- Improper passing
After his arrest, Olin was released from custody, though no details have been shared about his upcoming court date.
