Stolen car recovered by HPD, driver arrested

A stolen car was recovered Sunday night on Glass Avenue and the driver was arrested.

The 2006 Kia Rio had been captured on city cameras earlier in the day and flagged as stolen and Hopkinsville police located the car about 9:45 p.m. in the 200 block of Glass.

A traffic stop was initiated and the driver, 50-year old Jeffery Bratcher of Beaver Dam, reportedly told officers he didn’t know the car was stolen.

A computer check revealed Bratcher was listed as a suspect on the initial theft report.

Bratcher was arrested for felony receiving stolen property and driving on a DUI suspended license.
