Police Seek Muhlenberg County Fugitive

Kentucky State Police are currently searching for an armed and dangerous suspect last seen in the Belton area of Muhlenberg County.

Troopers were conducting a traffic safety checkpoint Sunday evening at the intersection of US 431 and KY 70 when a vehicle attempted to avoid the checkpoint. A trooper attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver accelerated and fled into a yard behind a home on Chumley Lane in the Beech Creek area. Police said that just prior to coming to a stop, the driver fired a handgun from his window. He then reportedly got out of the vehicle, fired several more shots and fled into the woods.

Police have identified the driver as 22-year-old Cody N. McIntosh, of Dunmor. He is white, and is 5'7" tall. He weighs 160 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. McIntosh was last seen wearing a dark-colored hoodie & gray sweatpants.

Officers from KSP Post 2, KSP Special Operations Branch K-9, Muhlenberg County Sheriff’s Department, Greenville Police Department, and KY Department of Fish & Wildlife are assisting with the search.

Police are advising anyone who comes into contact with McIntosh not to try to apprehend him. He is considered armed and dangerous.
