LOUISA, Ky. (WMDJ) – A Lawrence County man was arrested Tuesday evening after deputies say he ran from them while they were responding to a home on Spencer Branch Road.
According to an arrest citation, deputies were called to the home concerning a man with active warrants who was reportedly damaging property.
Deputies say Kenneth McKinster, of Louisa, ran out the back door when they arrived. A deputy pursued him approximately 200 feet before McKinster stopped in a neighboring yard and was taken into custody without further incident.
Authorities also served McKinster with an outstanding warrant related to an incident in January. The citation alleges McKinster damaged drywall inside his mother’s home and threatened to kill her.
McKinster was charged with third-degree fleeing or evading police, second-degree criminal mischief and third-degree terroristic threatening.
He was taken to the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville.
