PHELPS, Ky. — A Pike County man wanted on 11 outstanding warrants was taken into custody on Sunday, earning an additional charge in the process.

Lacy Wolford, 47, of Phelps, was wanted for charges related the theft of siding and contents of a mobile home amounting to more than $10,000; a fugitive warrant out of Virginia for conspiracy and larceny charges; and a number of other charges, including fleeing police.

When four state troopers caught up with him early Sunday morning, the police report alleges he tried to run away. One of the troopers fired a taser at him, but missed. However, he was soon found hiding behind an old vehicle and was arrested without further incident.

That earned him another charge of fleeing police.

Wolford is now being held without bond in the Pike County Detention Center.
