Horne v. State

After clocking Brandon Horne driving forty-five miles per hour in a thirty-five-mile-per-hour zone, State Trooper Kendall Belt turned on his vehicles overhead lights and pursued Hornes vehicle, but Horne did not stop. Nor did Horne stop when Belt activated the siren. Instead, Horne stuck his arm out his window and motioned for Belt to follow him. Even after Belt pulled up beside Hornes vehicle and used his vehicles public address system to direct Horne to pull over, Horne shook his head and kept driving. Finally, Belt pulled his vehicle in front of Hornes vehicle and blocked its path. In response, Horne drove onto the curb to circumvent Belts car. Horne stopped only after later reaching his own mothers house. Horne had not stopped because he knew he had city warrants outstanding against him; he wanted to get his vehicle to his mothers house for safekeeping so it would not get towed to an impound lot.
