LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) — Police have arrested a man they say broke into a Lexington auto shop, stole from a car, and threatened an employee with a knife.

According to police, 39-year-old Danny Gullett snuck through a hole in the fence and onto the lot of Guerrero Auto Shop on Luigart Court late Wednesday night.

They say an employee saw him going through a car parked on the lot and confronted him.

They say Gullett pulled out a knife and swung at the employee, before running off with items from the car.

He will appear in court on a robbery charge Thursday.
