Two arrested here after Kentucky armed robbery, truck theft

A police search for armed robbery suspects that began in Kentucky ended in a police chase and crash in Jennings County.

According to Indiana State Police, Indiana dispatchers were contacted Wednesday evening around 10:40 p.m. by Bullitt County, Kentucky deputies who asked Indiana officers to follow two suspects in a stolen pickup truck that he thought he was in Scottsburg. Scottsburg police and Scott County deputies located the suspects in a fast food parking lot. And when the suspects saw the officers, they took off, ending up heading north on State Road 3 in Jefferson and then Jennings counties at nearly 60 mph.

Officers used a maneuver to get the truck off the road near County Road 650S. The driver, Daniel York, 45, of Evansville, attempted to flee the scene but was apprehended by officers from the Austin Police Department. A passenger, Everett Kline, 62, of Wheelersburg, Ohio, was arrested.

Both had outstanding warrants and face charges of possession of stolen property and possession of a stolen vehicle. York is also charged with resisting law enforcement with an endangered vehicle, reckless driving injuring a passenger and operating a vehicle while impaired.
