Sissonville, WV (WOAY) A Kanawha County man is facing charges after deputies say he led officers on a high-speed motorcycle chase.Â
According to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office, on July 8, Deputy Hurd was traveling on Derricks Creek Road in Sissonville when he spotted a motorcycle in his lane heading towards him, nearly striking his patrol cruiser.
