SALYERSVILLE, Ky. — Things went from bad to worse for woman who rear-ended a motorcycle in Salyersville, when police discovered the car she had been driving had been reported stolen.
Salyersville Police were called to West Maple Street just before 10 p.m. Monday, where they found a 2019 Toyota Camry on top of a motorcycle. The operator of the motorcycle was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries.
Police then ran the car’s license plate and learned it had been reported stolen in Covington. They were able to get in touch with the registered owner of the vehicle, who confirmed it had been stolen.
That proved to be bad news for the driver of the car, Lanna Lea Bowling, 55, of Covington, who was arrested on a charge of receiving more than $10,000 worth of stolen property. That charge is a felony, punishable by 5-to-10 years in prison.
Bowling is being held in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center, in Paintsville.
