Nicholas L. Hughes
A Somerset man indicted with a count of Attempted Murder of a Police Officer among other felonies after leading officers in a downtown pursuit last month has been arraigned in Pulaski Circuit Court.
Nicholas Lee Hughes, 30, pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder charge as well as five counts of first-degree Wanton Endangerment, first-degree Fleeing or Evading Police (Motor Vehicle), first-degree Criminal Mischief, second-degree Criminal Mischief, Operating a Motor Vehicle under the Influence of Alcohol or Controlled Substance (3rd offense, aggravating circumstances), and Resisting Arrest when he appeared in court last Thursday.
Those charges stem from an incident that began just before 5 p.m. on March 3 when Somerset Police Department (SPD) received multiple complaints about the same vehicle driving recklessly in the area of Slate Branch Road and U.S. 27.
