Laurel County Sheriff John Root says Deputy Brent France and CSO Brian France were called out to a possible overdose at a business off US 25 about 8 miles south of London. As they pulled into the parking lot deputies saw a man running from the scene. Officers chased him down and during questioning he gave them false identifying information. Police found he was actually 39-year-old Charles J. Gray, JR of Highway 1232. During his arrest deputies found him in possession of suspected methamphetamine, hypodermic needles, and a flask. After Gray was placed in the backseat of the patrol car he attempt to crawl between the separator window to drive off in it. In addition to possession, fleeing or evading police and resisting arrest, Gray also had four Whitley County warrants. Later, while being processed at the Sheriff’s office Gray tried again to escape. Following a brief scuffle he was lodged in the Laurel County Correctional Center.
