Corbin man turns himself in

A Corbin man who led police on a chase turned himself in on Friday.

 Andrew Hall, 29, of Corbin was wanted for fleeing and evading police, as well as other charges. According to Maj. Rob Jones of the Corbin Police Department, the fleeing incident occurred around 4 p.m. on July 24 when Det.

After evading police for several days, Hall turned himself into Knox County authorities just before noon on Friday, according to a police press release.

Crash leads to drug trafficking charges
