Two arrested, one sought after multi-county pursuit ends in Paducah

Authorities arrested two Paducah residents and they're searching for a third after a multi-county pursuit on Monday.

McCracken County deputies were notified by the Ballard County Sheriff's Office Monday night that they were pursuing a vehicle on KY 286 and crossing into McCracken County.

The driver, 36-year-old Jeremy T. Jones, left the vehicle on Dundale Road and fled on foot. Deputies said the passenger, 28-year-old Martin Leyva, got into the driver's seat and drove several more blocks before stopping.

Leyva and another passenger, 37-year-old Marvin A. Tucker, were charged with public intoxication. Leyva was additionally charged with fleeing or evading police and reckless driving.

Deputies were unable to find Jones after he fled and said he has numerous unrelated felony arrest warrants for drug trafficking and fleeing police.

Anyone with information on Jones' whereabouts is asked to contact the sheriff's office at 270-444-4719 or their local law enforcement agency.
