A Bee Spring man faces multiple felony charges after a parole violation turned into an escape attempt in the courthouse, then a foot chase in a field, according to the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office.

In a press release, the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office stated that Erik Harley Anderson (29) of Bee Spring was arrested on a parole violation on Thursday, December 15th at the Edmonson County courthouse. The Sheriff's Office stated that Anderson pulled away from probation and parole officers, pushed an officer, and ran down the hallway of the courthouse. Anderson was apprehended before he reached the doorway and placed in a holding cell, awaiting transport to the Hart County Jail, the Sheriff's Office said.
