A western Kentucky man fleeing police crashed into a duplex in Glasgow.

Glasgow Police Department Public Affairs Officer Terry Flatt said that on Monday police attempted to stop a stolen vehicle being driven by 23-year-old Kendrick I. Clark, of Princeton.

The vehicle initially stopped on S L Roger Wells Boulevard, but Clark fled the stop as the officer approached the vehicle.

“The vehicle sped away traveling down city streets before turning onto Bunch Avenue and striking a parked vehicle,” Flatt said.

The truck then traveled through the back yard of an apartment complex and back onto Bunch Avenue where the vehicle ran off the roadway and struck a duplex.

There was one person inside the residence, but he/she was not injured.

Clark was arrested and charged with theft by unlawful taking (over $10,000, less than $1 million), first-degree wanton endangerment of a police officer, first-degree wanton endangerment, fleeing or evading police (motor vehicle), his second DUI (aggravating circumstances), three counts of first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, disregarding a stop sign, failure to wear a seat belt, and driving on a suspended/revoked driver’s license.

He was also served with two warrants and lodged in the Barren Co. Detention Center.
