Stolen car recovered, suspect arrested

A car reported stolen earlier this week from a dealership on Walnut Street was recovered Wednesday afternoon by Hopkinsville police and a suspect was arrested.

The 2011 Hyundai Elantra was stolen between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning from Truck Country Auto Sales and officers were dispatched to East Ninth and Clay Street a little before 6 p.m. to attempt to locate the car.

The driver, 20-year old Infinite Smith of Oak Grove, claimed the car belonged to her brother and said pliers are needed to start it, according to an arrest citation, which says she was arrested and charged with felony receiving stolen property and theft of a motor vehicle registration plate.
