2 men were arrested in Nelson County Thursday morning after allegedly stealing a trailer. According to the Nelson County Sheriff’s Office, police attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle on Louisville road early Thursday morning after officers observed no lights on the trailer. When officers attempted to initiate the traffic stop, the vehicle continued, eventually making a U-turn and turning onto John Rowan Boulevard. The vehicle then swerved, allegedly attempting to hit a Bardstown Police vehicle. A short time later, the vehicle then swerved into a Nelson County Sheriff’s vehicle, damaging it. After crashing into an unoccupied vehicle, police were able to take the occupants into custody.
The operator, Christopher Gardner, was charged with receiving stolen property over $10,000, fleeing or evading police, wanton endangerment, and attempted assault of a police officer among other charges. The passenger of the vehicle, James Johnson, was also arrested and charged. Both were lodged in the Nelson County Detention Center.
This weekend marks a milestone for the United States Army. Sunday, June 14th, will be the 245th anniversary for the Army. Here locally, officials at Fort Knox are preparing a celebration to make the occasion, albeit different than usual. The post’s Facebook page will premiere a video marking the celebration.
“We’re going to play a video compilation of Ft. Knox’s major units and organizations singing ‘The Army Goes Rolling Along’, which is the Army’s song,” Colonel C.J. King said.
And for those who hold to tradition, the traditional Army birthday cake cutting ceremony will still take place, just virtually.
“Ft. Knox’s commanding general, Major General John Evans will be joined by the oldest and youngest soldiers on post,” King explained.
The events can be seen Sunday on the Ft. Knox Facebook page.
