Private Detective: Man Accused in Dump Truck Pursuit Pleads Not Guilty

The man accused of leading authorities on a pursuit in a dump truck pleaded not guilty on Monday.

It all started Friday afternoon in McCracken County. A dump truck was seen swerving along I-24 near exit 7. Cars had to swerve to dodge the dump truck after it crossed the median into oncoming traffic.

One video shows him driving the wrong way down the interstate before crossing the median again.

“It just kept getting worse and worse,” said Captain J.T. Coleman with the McCrackern County Sheriff’s Office.

At one point, Coleman joined the chase.

“The pursuit was coming and no sooner, I had cleaned my car, and I just watched him. It was like slow motion. I just watched him go by and it was almost instant that I realized he had got the spike strips,” he said.

The tiny spikes were powerful enough to take down the dump truck that authorities say was going more than 70 mph.

Investigators say that if it wasn’t for Coleman, more people could have gotten hurt that day.

“There’s a lot of officers that risked their lives yesterday. It wasn’t just me,” Coleman said.

Dalton Lampley, 23, is facing 17 charges including wanton endangerment of a police officer, driving under the influence, and possession of meth.

Lampley pleaded not guilty to those charges on Monday.
