Sunday morning at 11:28AM, sheriffs deputies received a call from a resident near the Freemont area of McCracken County reporting that their 12 year old son had stolen their Ford Escort Station wagon.
 
At 12:37PM, Deputy Colleen Pennebaker got behind the stolen vehicle near Geibe Road and Husbands Road. The twelve year old juvenile was driving the vehicle. After Dep. Pennebaker activated lights and siren, the juvenile sped up while on Husbands Road and onto John Puryear Drive reaching speeds up to 85 mph. Deputies then discontinued the pursuit. Deputies shortly thereafter found the vehicle on Hovecamp Road and were able to block the vehicle in and place the juvenile into custody. The juvenile was lodged at the juvenile detention center and charged with numerous offenses.
