A Christmas Eve vehicle pursuit ended in Edmonson County at approximately 
7:30 pm, after police said that a 2001 GMC Sonoma being operated by Lonnie Dale Woosley, 34, of Louisville, Ky crashed in a wheat field owned by Evelyn Raymer, off of KY HWY 185.

Police reported that the pursuit began after a Morgantown Police officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the truck after matching the truck's description to a vehicle reported stolen in Butler County earlier that day.

Police said the pursuit went into the Caneyville community of Grayson County and then into the Roundhill community of Edmonson County on Hwy 185 where the chase ended as the truck became stuck in a wheat field.
