Driver of overturned semi revealed to be wanted fugitive

When a semi and its trailer overturned Monday in Caldwell County, it eventually resulted in the arrest of a Louisiana fugitive.

Caldwell County deputies found the semi on its side along KY 139 and the driver outside the truck with no injuries.

When they ran a check on 27-year old Jeff Daphnis of Baton Rouge, they discovered he was a fugitive wanted in Arkansas.

Daphnis was taken to the Caldwell County Jail.

KY 139 was closed for about 5 hours to remove the wrecked semi.
