Convicted Felon Ignites High-Speed Chase in Henderson County
Henderson County Incident Reveals Extensive Drug Trafficking Evidence at Suspect’s Residence
Tuesday’s police chase in Henderson County took a dramatic turn when narcotics were found and a convicted felon was taken into custody. A Kentucky State Police trooper tried to pull over a car on Highway 41 North, which is how the confrontation started. Nevertheless, the driver—named Nicholas S. Easton, 40—decided to flee from the police, starting a fast-paced pursuit. To make matters more intense, Easton was seen tossing bags of suspected meth from the car throughout the chase. Ultimately, Easton was apprehended in the 1700 block of Clay Street after authorities successfully halted his escape. A subsequent search of Easton and his vehicle uncovered a disturbing array of illicit substances, including marijuana, methamphetamine, fentanyl patches, and counterfeit Percocet pills suspected to contain fentanyl. Moreover, a loaded .45 caliber handgun was seized from the scene. Further investigation into Easton’s activities led authorities to his residence, where they discovered an “AR-15 style pistol” and substantial evidence indicating involvement in drug trafficking.

Parolee Arrested for Narcotics Possession and Firearms Offenses in Henderson County
Easton is now confronted with numerous charges related to narcotics possession and firearms, as outlined in a police report.

As legal proceedings unfold, the community remains vigilant in the face of the ongoing epidemic of drug-related crimes, emphasizing the indispensable role of law enforcement in safeguarding public safety.
