A man who stole his sister’s truck, ran over her legs and led law enforcement on a pursuit into a neighboring county has been indicted by a Lincoln County grand jury.

Sherrill “Chemo” Padgett, 58, of Waynesburg, was arrested on Aug. 17 by Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputies on several charges. He was originally charged with attempted murder.

Padgett arrived at his sister’s residence intoxicated, took control of her truck and ran over her legs before fleeing to Pulaski County.

Kim Yocum received injuries to her legs and toes and the truck door and fender was damaged. Padgett was later taken into custody in Pulaski County. He allegedly admitted to using methamphetamine that day.

A Lincoln County grand jury indicted Padgett on Oct. 11 on one count of carjacking and one count of second-degree assault.

His bond was set at $50,000. Lt. Michael Mullins testified for the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.
