This week the Powell Police Department coordinated with the Simpson County Sheriff’s Office(KY), Barren County Sheriff’s Office(KY), and Edmonson County Sheriff’s Office (KY). We were able to take our wanted fugitive into custody.
Not only was a stolen RV recovered, Christopher Gregory was also taken into custody and charged with
Trafficking a controlled substance
Giving false identification to a law enforcement officer
Criminal possession of a forged instrument
Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
With more charges to come from above said Sheriff’s offices.
Mr. Gregory was wanted for scamming local residents by buying automobiles with fake currency.
I want to personally thank the Sheriff’s offices listed, thankful that even in Kentucky agencies will go out of their way to help our town. If it wasn’t for them, Mr. Gregory would still remain at large.
Small towns seem like easier targets for criminals, but we have just as many resources and the same authority as others, so you can go to Kentucky but we are going to come looking.
We are looking forward to extraditing Mr. Gregory back to Alabama to face his felony charges here.
