A Hopkinsville man involved in a 2019 pursuit that ended in a crash and injured two people has been sentenced to time served in federal court on a weapons charge stemming from the case.
27-year-old Brandon Demar Smith pled guilty in U.S. District Court in Paducah in October to possession a weapon as a convicted felon.
Hopkinsville Police attempted to stop an SUV driven by on July 10, 2019, on Calvin Drive for not wearing a seatbelt. Police said Smith fled before hitting another vehicle at the intersection of Eagle Way Bypass, causing it to overturn.
After the wreck, Smith fled on foot with a gun in his hand but was quickly apprehended.
