The McCracken County Sheriff's Department said they saw a man pull into the parking lot of a Lone Oak Road business and start looking into other vehicles. Officers said the man allegedly appeared to be intoxicated.
He was identified as 21-year-old Michael Starnes.
As deputies questioned Starnes, they suspected the vehicle he had been driving was stolen. Further investigation confirmed it was stolen from a local hotel, and the owner had not yet discovered it missing.
Starnes was arrested and taken to the McCracken County Regional Jail, charged with receiving stolen property under $10,000, and first offense operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol/drugs.
