HPD arrests man on burglary charge

An investigation on South Fowler Avenue Tuesday afternoon led to the arrest of a Hopkinsville man on burglary charges.

The arrest citation for 38-year old Paul Christian alleges he went into a home in the 100 block of South Fowler around 3:30 p.m. without permission and took chicken nuggets from a freezer.

Christian then left and allegedly ran from police when confronted on McPherson Avenue.

He was eventually caught as he tried to make it back to the South Fowler residence and placed under arrest.

Police say Christian admitted to smoking methamphetamine earlier in the day.

He’s charged with second-degree burglary, fleeing or evading police on foot and public intoxication.
