Pikeville Woman Charged in Two Alleged Vehicle Theft Cases

PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Pikeville woman is facing charges in connection with two separate stolen vehicle investigations in Boyd and Floyd counties.

 

Krystal Stone, 33, was arrested May 28 in Boyd County after allegedly leading law enforcement on a pursuit involving a stolen vehicle along U.S. 23 in Boyd and Lawrence counties.

 

According to authorities, the pursuit reached speeds of more than 100 miles per hour and included multiple U-turns before the vehicle became stuck in a median. Police say Stone then fled on foot before being taken into custody following a struggle with officers.

 

Stone faces multiple charges in Boyd County, including fleeing police, receiving stolen property and attempting to disarm a peace officer.

 

While being held in the Boyd County Detention Center, Floyd County authorities served Stone with an arrest warrant related to a separate vehicle theft investigation.

 

According to the Floyd County warrant, Stone allegedly took a vehicle from a gas station after the owner entered the store to pay for fuel. The vehicle was later recovered in Lawrence County. Investigators reported finding Stone’s identification inside the vehicle. She is also accused of throwing the owner’s cellphone from the vehicle, resulting in an additional criminal mischief charge.

 

Stone remains lodged in the Boyd County Detention Center on bonds totaling $21,500.
