LOUISVILLE, Ky. December 12 2019
A man acting suspiciously and possibly trespassing assaulted a security officer who confronted him and then police on a chase on Interstate 65 in Kentucky.
Police were first called to a report of a suspicious person in a high-rise medical research facility in the University of Louisville School of Medicine around 1:10 p.m. Monday.
Gregory Hilton, 56, was approached by a security officer who he is accused of pushing and assaulting.
Police chased him over I-65 and into the Jewish Hospital parking garage where he was taken into custody.
Officers said Hilton had a knife, prying tool and what appeared to be a counterfeit $50 bill on him.
He was booked into Louisville Metro Department of Corrections and charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument, criminal trespass, fleeing police and possession of burglary tools.
Police believe Hilton is also a suspect in several thefts from offices in the building. Additional charges could be filed against him.
