A Paducah man was arrested Sunday after leading police on a chase through McCracken and Marshall counties.
According to a release from the McCracken County Sheriff’s Department, Cory Henson, 30, of Paducah was arrested after officers attempted a traffic stop Sunday night on Oaks Road in McCracken County and he refused to stop his 2004 Jeep Cherokee. Henson allegedly continued driving into Symsonia, disregarding a stop sign at the intersection of Ky. Highway 348 and Ky. Hwy 131. Henson allegedly turned onto Wadesboro Road and continued into Marshall County, driving until the car ran out of gas near a home on the 5000 block of Wadesboro Road.
