Police: Missing juvenile with stolen gun arrested in stolen vehicle on I-75 in Ky.
KENTUCKY (WTVQ) — Madison County police say a missing juvenile who had a stolen gun and was driving a stolen vehicle was arrested Wednesday morning on I-75 after a pursuit.
According to the sheriff’s office, police were called for help by the Lexington Police Department around 7:30 a.m. for a report of a possible stolen vehicle on I-75 being driven by a missing juvenile, who also might have a stolen shotgun.
Sgt. Josh Petry tried to stop the vehicle but the juvenile sped away, police say. The juvenile then allegedly drove into the right-side emergency lane, passed several vehicles and nearly struck construction barrels as they fled.
