Man crashes into utility pole after police pursuit

Robert Hackney was reportedly driving a Pontiac Bonneville when the car hit a telephone pole at the corner of E. Eighth and Jackson streets. The impact of the wreck ripped wires from the outside of a home and utility companies had to be called to connect those from the pole to the home; no injuries were reported. Hackney is well-known to law enforcement officers in the area; he was one of three men arrested for allegedly breaking into and stealing automatic teller machines from the Goodwill Store and Sammy O's Tavern off U. S. 150 in Floyds Knobs on April 15, 2007. Photograph accompanies the article
