Vehicle pursuit leads to arrest of Ledbetter woman

On July 30th, 2020 at approximately 8:30 pm, a McCracken County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to stop a vehicle on John Puryear Drive near Exit 11. The vehicle began to elude the deputy by traveling onto Interstate 24, eastbound, at a high rate of speed. Once inside Marshall County, the vehicle left the south side of the roadway and came to an sudden stop. The two occupants exited the vehicle and began fleeing from the deputy on foot. The operator of the vehicle, 24-year-old Kaylin Herzog of Ledbetter, KY, was taken into custody after a foot pursuit through a wooded area.

foot a second time. Herzog was again taken into custody after another brief foot pursuit.
