Roy Hoopie Glover
A Science Hill man for whom a local jury recommended a 75-year sentence last year is appealing his case to the Kentucky Supreme Court.
Roy Eugene Hoopie Glover, 30, was convicted in February 2020 of first-degree Assault, two counts of first-degree Wanton Endangerment charges, first-degree Fleeing or Evading Police (Vehicle), and Receiving Stolen Property at least $500 in value as enhanced by a second-degree Persistent Felony Offender (PFO) count.
The case involved a high-speed pursuit that occurred in northern Pulaski County on September 25, 2018. During the course of that pursuit, Glover drove southbound in the northbound lanes of US 27, running one driver off the road, and struck Lieutenant Jon Williams of the Pulaski County Sheriff s Office after he and Kentucky State Police Trooper Richie Baxter had exited their cruisers on East Frog Hollow Road in an attempt to limit Glover s path and deploy spike strips.
