PRESTONSBURG and ASHLAND, Ky. — A Pikeville woman is facing charges involving two stolen cars in Boyd and Floyd counties.

Krystal Stone, 33, of Pikeville, was arrested May 28 in Boyd County, after leading police on a chase in a stolen car back and forth along U.S. 23 in Boyd and Lawrence counties, at speeds exceeding 100 mph.

The police report notes Stone repeatedly made sudden U-turns, until the car she was driving became stuck in the median on the last attempt. That prompted a foot chase that allegedly ended with a stuggle with officers, during which she allegedly reached for an officer’s gun and had to be tased twice while reportedly saying she was fleeing vampires.

She was arrested on a total of 16 charges, including fleeing police, receiving stolen property and attempt to disarm a peace officer.

Stone is currently being held in the Boyd County Detention Center, which allowed Floyd County authorities to serve her with a warrant for auto theft.

The arrest warrant says she took a car from a gas station, when the owner went inside to pay for gas. The car was later found abandoned in Lawrence County with Stone’s ID inside. The warrant also says Stone threw the victim’s phone out of the window, also earning her a criminal mischief charge.

Stone is currently being held on bonds totaling $21,500.
