The Letcher County Grand Jury has indicted a Viper man who the Perry County Sheriff’s Department alleges stole one of their police cruisers while he was being arrested last month.
Christopher Combs was indicted for fleeing, resisting arrest, menacing, receiving stolen property and much more for the August 14 incident.
The Mountain Eagle reports deputies had arrested Combs on drug charges and were
transporting him but were out of the car when he allegedly escaped from his handcuffs,
jumped into the driver’s seat and drove off.
He was already facing several drug charges in Letcher County so he is currently in the Letcher County Jail on 26 criminal charges.
