An anonymous crime stoppers tip led to the arrests of a wanted man and a woman helping him allude arrest.
On Tuesday, a tip was called in stating that Dedrick Beck was seen with Cayla Brown.
Beck was wanted for seven outstanding felony warrants. Agents with the South-Central Kentucky Drug Task Force conducted surveillance at Brown’s residence and attempted to contact her.
A short time later, her vehicle was seen leaving the residence. Drug Task Force officers were able to follow the vehicle while giving out the location for Simpson County Deputies to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle.
Once the vehicle turned onto Stevenson Road, deputies stated they were at Stevenson Road and Bowling Green Road waiting for the vehicle.
Before the vehicle reached the deputies, it was located wrecked in the 1600 block of Stevenson Road. The driver, Beck and the passenger, Brown were taken into custody without incident.
