In this episode of Chief’s Chats, I share details of my encounters with two individuals who would later make national headlines — featured on America's Most Wanted. Long before their names were broadcast across the country, our paths crossed in Jamestown, KY.

Hear the behind-the-scenes stories, firsthand recollections, and insights into how these early encounters unfolded — and what happened next. This episode dives into the real-life moments that preceded a national manhunt.

In this intense and deeply personal episode of Chief’s Chats, I take you back to June 18, 1994 – an unforgettable night early in my law enforcement career. An in-person complaint in downtown Jamestown, Kentucky, quickly escalated into the most dangerous vehicle pursuit I’ve ever been involved in.

Over the course of 17 miles and just 12 adrenaline-fueled minutes, the pursuit sped through Jamestown, Russell Springs, sharp turns, and high-stakes decisions, ultimately ending in downtown Dunnville.

I’ll walk you through what happened moment by moment – the danger, the split-second choices, and the lasting impact it had on me as a young officer.

In this episode of Chief’s Chats, I talk with Alex Wilson, Chief Operations Officer for the Ridgenet Network Group headquartered in Science Hill, KY.

We talk in-depth how he and his brother Eric, turned their vision into a growing company that outfits police, fire, and EMS vehicles with state-of-the-art lights, sirens, custom graphics and two-way communication systems.

Hear how they started, what drives their success, and why their work matters to first responders across Kentucky and beyond.
