Fugitive Update

Those two fugitives from the West Kentucky Correctional Complex in Fredonia are still at large.

Princeton Police recovered a mini van at a motel parking lot Thursday night around 5:30. They think the escapees stole the van from a residence on Calhoun Road in Lyon County. The van was stolen late Wednesday night near the Western Kentucky Parkway and U.S. 62 interchange, about 10 miles from where the van was later recovered. 

A woman in Caldwell County just east of Fredonia was confronted by the escapees earlier in the week.

The fugitives are from the Rowan County and Lexington area. Police believed Friday that they were still in the Princeton area.

ANOTHER ESCAPEE James A. Allgood also remains at large. He was last seen in Breckinridge County after walking away from a work release program at Lyon County High School in July. Allgood stole two vehicles in the area, including one in the edge of Lyon County that was owned by Randy Peek. That vehicle was found late last week in Breckinridge County by Kentucky State Police.
