Officer pricked by syringe during traffic stop investigation

A Leitchfield woman was arrested on multiple charges early Wednesday morning, including wanton endangerment after an Elizabethtown Police Department officer was stuck by an uncapped syringe found in a bag belonging to her. Lynda Schenk, 42, is charged with one count of first-degree wanton endangerment of a police officer, a Class D felony punishable by one to five years in prison, if convicted, as well as first offense, first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance – methamphetamine and two misdemeanors. According to an arrest citation, an officer saw a vehicle driving south on Interstate 65 with a license plate not illuminated. During the traffic stop, Schenk was asked if she had anything on her or in the vehicle that would “stick me, stab me or poke me.” She said she didn’t.

The pursuit began in Elizabethtown and ended in Jefferson County. Kentucky State Police Post 4 received a call from a traveling motorist around 7 p.m. Thursday in reference to a reckless driver. The caller observed what they believed to be a female passenger who appeared to be in some type of distress, according to a KSP news release. Troopers located the vehicle exiting I-65 southbound at Elizabethtown, Exit 94. As troopers attempted a traffic stop near Executive Drive, the vehicle fled from troopers and re-entered I-65 northbound. As the pursuit continued with speeds reaching 115 mph, troopers deflated the rear driver’s side tire with stop sticks near the 111-mile marker. The pursuit continued north to the 131-mile marker in Jefferson County when the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle, striking the center barrier wall before traveling across the northbound lanes and striking a guardrail.
