A foot pursuit Monday on South Main Street ended with the arrest of a suspect wanted on a warrant for felony auto theft.
Hopkinsville police were called to a disturbance and a computer check revealed one of the parties involved—25-year old Isaac Wooton of Livermore—was wanted on a warrant. He allegedly fled when officers approached him near Ninth and Main and had to be tased once he was caught as he allegedly struggled with the officers.
The warrant alleges that he had a spare key to a van owned by his ex-girlfriend and that he took it to Christian County Auto Salvage in May. The business was able to provide HPD with a bill of sale containing Wooton’s signature from the alleged transaction.
Wooton is charged with felony theft and theft by deception, in addition to fleeing or evading police and resisting arrest.
