A 27-year-old Owensboro man is facing multiple charges after an overnight pursuit in Daviess County. Deputies say Jonathan S. Martinez was seen driving recklessly near East 5th and Crittenden Streets around 12:33 a.m. Monday. When a deputy tried to stop him, the vehicle sped away, later going airborne after crossing railroad tracks on JR Miller Boulevard and crashing near Green River Appliance Company. Authorities say Martinez ran from the car but was tackled and arrested on Daviess Street. Deputies report suspected methamphetamine was found inside the vehicle. Martinez was treated for minor injuries before being booked into the Daviess County Detention Center.
