A man accused of dragging a Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy along the street while evading a traffic stop was captured Thursday.
Andrey Pavolvich Mishenin, 23, was arrested without incident in the parking lot of the Crossland Hotel, 4850 Leetsdale Drive, in Glendale.
Mishenin had been the since taking off in his car while being contacted by a deputy on Jan. 29.
The sheriff’s office said the deputy contacted the driver about 10:30 p.m. in the 5600 block of Yank Street. The deputy thought the vehicle’s driver appeared suspicious, according to Jacki Kelley, a sheriff’s spokeswoman.
As the deputy was speaking with the driver, the man sped off.
The deputy reached into the car just before the driver drove off and was dragged for “a very short period of time,” falling to the ground, Kelley said.
Mishenin was booked into the Jefferson County jail Thursday on charges of second-degree assault, criminal impersonation, and numerous traffic violations. He is being held on a $75,000 bond.
