A Louisville man is facing five counts of first-degree wanton endangerment after allegedly driving recklessly and attempting to elude police at speeds up to 100 miles per hour.
Jesse Aaron Martin, 26, was driving a van toward Hodgenville on Ky. 210 about 4:30 p.m. on July 5, according to an arrest citation by Deputy Matt Darst. Other motorists had phoned in complaints that the van was running at a high rate of speed and running other cars off the road.

A Hodgenville man has been charged with endangering students on a LaRue County school bus.
Larry Steven Williams, 60, saw a school bus turn around in his driveway on White City Road on April 29 and began following it in his vehicle., according to an arrest warrant filed by Constable Jeff Metcalf.
Williams passed the bus as it was entering a curve and incline, Metcalf said. Williams allegedly began honking his horn and drove around the bus “appearing to be in a very mad rage.” The bus driver moved over to let him pass, Metcalf said.
