Boyle County Deputies apprehend a wanted man after a Dollar Store shoplifting spree.
Charles McElroy, 36 of Danville, a man with four active warrants and additional charges pending, was apprehended by Boyle County deputies Thursday evening after a brief foot chase and struggle.
Following a tip from Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, deputies located McElroy near the Dollar store in Parksville around 8:15 PM. When they attempted to make contact, he fled on foot but was soon apprehended.
McElroy resisted arrest, provided false information, and became disruptive at the hospital where he was taken for a medical evaluation.
He faces additional charges for fleeing, resisting arrest, providing false information, shoplifting, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, and terroristic threatening.
The initial warrants stemmed from charges including possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, wanton endangerment, drug possession, domestic violence, burglary, criminal trespass, and menacing.
McElroy was lodged in the Boyle County Jail.
