A Lexington man stopped for DUI in Franklin County has been indicted for numerous driving offenses including allegedly giving a police officer a female's driver's license.

Frank Ellis Jackson III, 28, of Patterson Street in Lexington, was stopped by Franklin County Sheriff's officers Oct. 11, his indictment said.

According to prosecutors, Jackson, who they said was under the influence of alcohol and had an open Bud Light Lime in his car, handed a driver's license belonging to an unidentified female to Deputy Rick Rogers.

Jackson, who according to Commonwealth's Attorney Larry Cleveland was wearing a dress and makeup when he was stopped, is charged with felonies of operating on a DUI suspended license and a DUI fourth offense.

He is also charged with several moving violations and displaying a cancelled or fictitious operator's license, a misdemeanor.

A Frankfort man was also indicted by the Franklin County grand jury Wednesday for leading police in a high-speed chase that exceeded 100 mph.

Zachary T. Abbott, 20, 220 Tupelo Trail #55, is charged with two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and first-degree fleeing or evading police.

Cleveland said police approached Abbott's vehicle Nov. 11 when he was parked behind a vacant apartment complex.

Abbott fled, Cleveland said, because he is on probation for another offense and was driving with a suspended license.

The chase reached speeds of 100 mph or more, Cleveland said, before Abbott eventually wrecked, bailed out and attempted to flee on foot before being apprehended by sheriff's deputies.

Other indictments include:

>John D. Alstatt, 53, who is being held at the Green River Correctional Complex in Central City, for second-degree escape and being a persistent felony offender.

>James Michael Keith, 31, 15 Blackburn Ave., for theft by failure to make required disposition of property and theft by deception.

The article fails to mention if the dude was properly accessorized...You know, matching purse, shoes, socks, undies, whatever. I would assume green based on the Bud Light Lime......

Ok,,, here I am fed up with everytime the Urinal does a story about a person and people come on here and rip on said person there are always people that want to bring up slander. Luanne I know that you are new to the board and havent posted that much and its not just you people bring it up all the tiem...Why cant stuff just be considered funny or a joke..I think it is hilarious that this freakshow was driving around dressed up as a woman.. Its not nothing but jokes..So when we make fun of people i wish people wouldnt freak out about it... No one is getting sued people may get their feeling hurt but get over it, its just a joke

Luanne: I was jsut wondering if it was slanderour to say what he was wearing. If you were pulled over for a DUI would the SJ state what outfit you had on? Though I am not "sue crazy", many are and this guy might have a case if he did not already have too much against him for the various laws he has broken this time.

The article would not really be a slander case as no false statement were made. Potential for defamation case could be a consideration but he would have to prove it costed him in a financial way, such as loss of employment as a direct result of the article and that the artical was printed with the intention of costing him financially. Not an easy claim to prove.

See, and you tried to say something about me not saying a lot. Feel the same way - just hadn't had much to say. Not too much to comment on.
