“Fleeing from a law enforcement traffic stop demonstrates very poor decision making, but to do it in a small, residential neighborhood at a high rate of speed is a terrible idea, and dangerous. It’s amazing and fortunate that nobody innocent was hurt or killed. They could have very easily crashed into a house. It should not come as a surprise that the driver has a tattoo on his neck that says, ‘All gas, no brakes,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.

Both Hogue and Kozub were taken to a local hospital for treatment. Hogue has since been released and arrested while Kozub remains in the hospital.
