\nA Bowling Green man is facing several felony charges after police say he was found with a stolen firearm and a stolen vehicle in Muhlenberg County.<\/p>\n
According to a citation, authorities with Kentucky State Police were contacted about a man seen walking through a truck lot on Reid Travis Highway. Officers found the suspect inside the cab of a semi-truck.<\/p>\n
The man was identified as 33 year-old Arlexis Kawai, of Bowling Green.<\/p>\n
During the encounter, police say a pistol was visible on the man\u2019s waistband. He was taken into custody at the scene. Officers later confirmed a nearby vehicle, a Chevrolet Silverado, at the lot had been reported stolen from Logan County.<\/p>\n
A search of Kawai and the semi reportedly turned up various personal items, including a checkbook, credit card, keys, gloves, and a bandana.<\/p>\n
Officers contacted the registered owner of the stolen vehicle, who confirmed it had been stolen earlier that day.<\/p>\n
The owner said the suspect matched the description of someone they had confronted while allegedly attempting to break into their vehicle.<\/p>\n
Officers later obtained a photo allegedly showing the suspect in the Silverado near a Beechmont gas station.<\/p>\n
Court records indicate the man previously pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.<\/p>\n
Kawai is charged with criminal trespassing, attempted theft by unlawful taking of a vehicle valued between $10,000 and $1 million, receiving stolen property ($10,000 or more), receiving stolen property (firearm), and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.<\/p>\n
The stolen truck was returned to its registered owner at the scene.
