A short pursuit in Warren County has resulted in the arrest of two individuals and the recovery of a stolen vehicle from the Wingfield community, according to the Warren County and Edmonson County Sheriff's Offices.

Early on New Year's Day, a Warren County deputy reported that he noticed a vehicle at the Lonnie White Boat Ramp before 8am, according to a press release. As the deputy turned into the boat ramp parking area, the vehicle sped away on Barren River Road.
