Police have captured a pair of fugitives pursued since early this morning in McCracken County.

Sources tell West Kentucky Star that the McCracken County Sheriff's Office caught 31-year-old Cody Johnson and his female companion off New Hope Church Road. That's less than two miles from where the search began around Durbin Lane and Luigs Lane, west of the St. Johns community.

Johnson and the woman are said to have led deputies on a pursuit, both on and off-road. The two allegedly stole a vehicle, as well. 

Johnson was already wanted on several felony warrants and has previous firearms charges.
