One person is dead and another arrested, after a car crashed into the front of the Greenwood Mall early Saturday morning.
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office initiated a traffic stop at Scottsville Road and Bryant Way just after 2:30 Saturday morning.
The Silver 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix pulled into the PNC bank parking lot. As the deputy went to exit their cruiser, the Sheriff’s Office reports the other vehicle accelerated rapidly, jumped 2 curbs, and crashed into the front of the Greenwood Mall.
The passenger, identified 34 year-old as Thomas Burton of Bowling Green, exited the vehicle and was detained. The Sheriff’s office reports the operator had a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound.
First aid was provided on scene. He was then life-flighted to Skyline for his injury and later pronounced deceased. Officials are in the process of notifying next of kin.
A search warrant was obtained for the vehicle and executed. A defaced firearm was located along with suspected methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.
Thomas Burton was lodged in the Warren County Regional Jail under a $10,025 cash bond.
