RICHMOND - An Richmond man and a juvenile were arrested Wednesday after police stay they burglarized a residence then fled from a stolen vehicle.
Police said the incident occurred at approximately 6:40 a.m. when officers were dispatched to Cobble Drive in the Fieldstone Subdivision to investigate a report of suspicious persons in the area.
Upon arrival, officers found that the suspicious persons had already left the area. However, as Officer Devin Thomas was leaving the subdivision, he observed a vehicle occupied by two males traveling on Four Mile Road without headlights.
When Officer Thomas attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle, the driver refused to stop and continued on Four Mile Road to Richmond Green Drive where the vehicle slowed down and the male passenger jumped from the vehicle and fled on foot into the Richmond Green Apartment complex.
The vehicle continued to the intersection of Merrick Drive and Richmond Green Drive where the driver stopped the vehicle and fled on foot into the apartment complex.
As officers were searching for the two males, they learned that the fleeing Honda Accord that they were pursuing had been stolen from a residence on Cobble Drive.
It was further learned that the residence on Cobble Drive had been broken into and the vehicle keys obtained from inside the house.
Shortly thereafter, police received a tip from a citizen indicating that one of the males was hiding in some bushes on Mallory Court.
Officers located the male, identified him as the passenger that fled from the car, and took him into custody. He was identified as Donavan L. White, age 18, according to police.
Officers continued their attempts to locate the driver of the vehicle and traced him to an apartment on Merrick Drive where he, too, was taken into custody. The driver was identified as a 17-year-old male.
Both males were charged for burglary second degree, theft, fleeing or evading police second degree.
White was lodged in the Madison County Detention Center. The juvenile male was lodged in the Fayette County Juvenile Detention Center.
