David Poppiti, 18, is charged with the murder a Bell County officer.
Poppiti, and his passenger Eric J. Gerren, 17, allegedly left a Harlan County gas station without paying for their $38 tank of gas early on Sunday, Jan. 10, 2008, when a high-speed chase ensued into Bell County, on U.S. Hwy. 119.
The chase ended when Poppiti’s vehicle left the highway and crashed into Deputy Pursifull’s cruiser, parked off of the roadway, according to a KSP report. Pursifull and his police dog, King, died on the scene.
Poppiti is currently being held at Whitley County jail. He was moved there in June 2008 from the Adair County Detention Center, after turning 18-years-old.
