SAFETY CONCERN – HILLSBORO INCIDENT
May 14, 2025
Earlier today, the Fleming County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Kentucky State Police, responded to Hillsboro in reference to a safety concern involving a wanted individual. Sheriff Tim Smith, Deputy James Welch, and KSP Trooper Vanhoose responded to the scene.
The individual, who had an active full extradition warrant, attempted to flee and evade law enforcement. After a brief pursuit, the subject was apprehended on Souder Avenue without further incident.
We want to emphasize that this situation did not involve Hillsboro Elementary School, and at no time were students or staff in danger. We appreciate the cooperation of the community and our strong working relationship with the Kentucky State Police in maintaining public safety.
