Hopkinsville man arrested on Tennessee warrant for auto theft

A Hopkinsville man has been arrested on a Tennessee warrant for an alleged theft of a vehicle.

The warrant taken out by Smyrna, Tennessee police in December of 2020, alleges 44-year old Antony Bumpers of Hopkinsville drove away from his girlfriend’s apartment in her car during an argument and did not return the vehicle when contacted by police the same night.

He’s being held in the Christian County Jail as a fugitive from another state and will be extradited to Tennessee to face the felony theft charge.

Bumpers was also served with a local warrant for failing to appear in court to face traffic-related charges.
