Man Faces Charges After Stealing State Owned Truck

December 27, 2023 by Mable Cundiff


An Adair County man was arrested after driving a stolen vehicle to a jail in central Kentucky.

Officials with the Columbia Police Department said 48 year-old Joseph Shafer was located outside the Adair County Regional Jail just after 9:30 p.m. on December 25.

Officers were dispatched to the jail for a suspicious person complaint.

A wrecked vehicle, belonging to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, was outside the jail.

Police said the truck had visible damage, noting it was stolen and rammed into a gate at a nearby office on Campbellsville Street.

The gate was locked when Shafer crashed the truck into it.

Shafer faces charges relating to public intoxication, third-degree criminal trespassing, first-degree criminal mischief and theft by unlawful taking (automobile).
