The subject was also wanted by parole. The subject was found to be in possession of 12 sticks of CBD, a 250 mg of CBD oil, three glass meth pipes with burnt residue, and brass knuckles. An additional wanted person was in the vehicle as well. They were arrested.

• At 8:49 a.m. on Jan. 26, while traveling west on Valley Street in Clinton County an officer observed a truck, but not the driver, “by the way he was sitting behind the wheel.” The deputy turned around to get behind the vehicle, the truck picked up speed and turned onto Vine Street. The truck then turned onto Lundy Lane, the deputy turned on the other end of Lundy to get in front of the vehicle. “As I approached where John Street and Lundy Lane intersect, the driver exited the vehicle while the truck was still moving. The truck proceeded forward into a mailbox causing the mailbox to lean. The truck came to a rest against the mailbox,” the report states. A 32-year-old male walked away from the incident. The male subject was asked by a deputy where the driver was and the male said he took off towards the woods. As deputies informed the male they were placing him under investigative custody, the male then said “I’m the driver you guys caught me.” The driver advised he did not have his license, which is why he sped away. He also said the truck is not his and that someone left it in front of his house because “they ran out of gas.” So, he decided to drive it to the store. The vehicle was found to stolen from Warren County. Deputies discovered the truck had been spray-painted white over the original green color. The truck had Kentucky tags that didn’t match the trucks. Tools in the truck were taken as evidence. The male was taken into custody.
