A pursuit of a stolen vehicle that began on Glass Avenue in Hopkinsville early Wednesday morning ended on Quisenbery with the arrest of the driver and passenger.

A Hopkinsville police officer observed the stolen Ford Mustang at Glass and West Seventh and the driver—26-year old Terry Cantrell of Hopkinsville—allegedly fled at a high rate of speed when a traffic stop was initiated.
