A southern Indiana man was arrested Monday after leading Louisville Metro police officers on a chase on a Kubota tractor.
Aaron Kidwell, 33, of Greenville, was arrested for the crime Monday. He was already wanted on an outstanding Jefferson County Bench Warrant and was a convicted felon in Indiana.
Officers were tailing Kidwell and saw him get into a vehicle while holding a tan and black colored Glock handgun with an extended magazine.
They then followed him to a home on North 44th Street. Detectives saw him leave the home later in the day on a Kubota Tractor.
They tried to stop him in the alley of Slevin Street, but arrest documents say Kidwell fled, first driving the tractor through a neighboring lot and then through a chain link fence on Slevin Street.
According to arrest documents, there was $250 in damage to the lot property and $2,000 in damage to the fenced property.
It all ended after the tractor became immobile after striking the fence. He then got out of the tractor and was taken into custody.
Beneath the tractor was the same Glock handgun that Kidwell was seen carrying early in the day.
Kidwell told officers he had the handgun for protection and that it fell out of the tractor. Officers also found two glass pipes on Kidwell.
He is now facing charges of possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, criminal mischief, fleeing or evading police by motor vehicle and possession of drug paraphernalia.
