Paducah Police found a man who fled from officers in a stolen vehicle early Wednesday morning.



Police say they were notified by a passerby who saw 28-year-old Michael W. Gouin of Paducah, and recognized him from a photo on West Kentucky Star. Police and Sheriff's deputies responded to the K-Mart area on Lone Oak Road. After a brief foot chase and search, Gouin was arrested on three outstanding warrants.



Gouin faces two charges of fleeing or evading police, along with reckless driving, wanton endangerment of a police officer, speeding 26 mph or more over the limit, possession of a controlled substance - meth, and receiving stolen property under $10,000. Graves County and Calloway County also had warrants for his arrest.





PREVIOUS STORY:



Police say they spotted a 2000 Honda, reported stolen on Monday, and attempted to stop it about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday on James Sanders Boulevard near Hinkleville Road.  The car apparently stopped briefly, and a woman got out. She confirmed to police that 28-year-old Michael Gouin was driving the vehicle.



Police say Gouin fled after letting the her out. Gouin fled east on Interstate 24 at speeds in excess of 100 mph. He turned onto Lone Oak Road, and made his way south to Krebs Station Road.  Gouin ended up on Ivo Wurth Road, where he drove into a field and the Honda became stuck. He then fled on foot.



Officers were unable to locate Gouin, and police are warning residents in the area to remain alert. Authorities said he has been known to be armed and should be considered dangerous. 



Officers found a small bag of suspected methamphetamine in the Honda after Gouin abandoned it. Police say they intend to pursue charges, including possession of a controlled substance and receiving stolen property.



Anyone with information about Gouin’s whereabouts is asked to call the Paducah Police Department at 270/444-8550 or West Kentucky Crime Stoppers at 270-443-TELL.
