BEDFORD – A Mitchell man was arrested Thursday after Bedford Police officers were alerted about a reckless driver in a gray Dodge diesel pickup pulling a “hot rod” on a trailer traveling north on State Road 37 at 29th Street.
Callers reported the driver was running vehicles off the road and passing other vehicles in the median.
Officers found the driver pulling into the Lowe’s parking lot.
The driver began yelling at officers at the scene. Police made several attempts to get Small to identify himself, but he refused. He was told if he continued to be uncooperative he would be arrested.
He refused and had to be forcibly restrained. Once in handcuffs officers were able to identify the man as 40-year-old Jeremy Small from his driver’s license.
Small had a 3-year-old child in the vehicle with him.
The child was released to her mother.
Small faces charges of reckless driving, refusal to identify, resisting law enforcement, and neglect of a dependent.
