A stolen vehicle was recovered after a pursuit in Hopkinsville on Major Lane Monday morning.

Hopkinsville Police say they located an SUV around 2 am that had just been reported stolen on Tanglewood Drive and attempted to stop it on Major Lane when the driver, 21-year-old Allen Shaw, fled at a high rate of speed.

The pursuit reportedly came to an end on Smith Road with Shaw fleeing on foot.

Police say they searched the area but did not locate Shaw. After just over 4 hours, someone called in reporting a suspicious person, and Shaw was located.

He was arrested and charged with theft by unlawful taking, disregarding a stop sign, disregarding a traffic control device, and two counts of first-degree fleeing or evading police.
