Kentucky State Police Post 9 Pikeville troopers were staging a roadblock on Friday afternoon, November 8, by the Van Lear Baptist Church in Johnson County, when they spotted a car approach and then turn into the church parking lot, before heading back the other way.
Troopers noted the driver didn’t use his turn signal and pulled out in front of another car when leaving. A trooper followed and pulled the car over a short distance away.
