AMHERST â A Lynchburg man was sentenced Wednesday to a little more than four years in prison for leading law enforcement on a high-speed chase through Madison Heights during the summer that ended up sending him, another driver and an Amherst County Sheriffâs deputy to the hospital.
Joshua Carl Finnegan, 22, pleaded guilty in November to a list of nine charges from the July 8 chase, including driving under the influence of drugs, felony eluding police and four counts of reckless driving.
At Finneganâs sentencing hearing Wednesday, Amherst County Sheriffâs Sgt. Blake Hudson said he was running radar off Seminole Drive at about 5 p.m. that day when a white Chevrolet pickup, later determined to have Finnegan at the wheel, sped past him at 65 mph in a 35 mph zone.

Eddie Lucio III. He introduced a bill in the House Insurance Committee this week that aims to reduce these deceptive marketing practices, alongside a similar bill from Rep. Stephanie Klick.
Lucio introduced his bill to the committee:
“Sales of alternative health plans have increased in recent years, and as a result, reports from median researchers about misleading and deceptive sales practices have risen. Consumers are being misled through deceptive information almost always through telemarketing calls.”
