Crofton pair arrested on warrants after foot pursuit

An investigation Monday afternoon by Hopkinsville Police on Bryan Street led to two foot pursuits and the arrests of two people on warrants.

Officer Alan Vance saw 31-year old Joseph Matheney and 30-year old Jamie Beising of Crofton walking near the end of Bryan and they were going into the back yard of a home, according to an arrest citation.

Both suspects ran in separate directions when officers approached and were both soon captured.

Beising was charged with fleeing or evading police and served with a warrant for probation violation.

Matheney was served with a probation warrant, charged with fleeing or evading police and had possession of methamphetamine and possession of a controlled substance tacked on after a search of his backpack allegedly turned up prescription pain pills in a baggy and a baggy of methamphetamine with a meth pipe.
