A Hodgenville (Ky.) Police officer died Sunday in a single-vehicle crash while pursuing a suspect after responding to a domestic violence call.
Officer Mark Allen Taulbee, 43, was killed when his cruiser left the roadway on Kentucky Route 210 in LaRue County at 3:25 a.m. Sunday, a police spokeswoman told POLICE Magazine.
Earlier in the day, Officer Taulbee had responded to a domestic disturbance. A suspect, later identified as 29-year-old Jason Avis, had been repeatedly calling a female adn threatened to break into her home.
After responding to the home, Officer Taulbee reported that a male subject had taken a vehicle without permission and left the scene. Officer Taulbee pursued Avis until he lost control of his cruiser, left the roadway, and hit an embankment.
