A Hopkinsville man was stopped on US 68 in Todd County after he was found parked behind an abandoned vehicle Wednesday morning.
Todd County Sheriff’s Deputy Dennis Brown says he stopped 49-year-old Tracy Cassetty after he was seen parked by an abandoned vehicle that had its catalytic converter partially removed.
During the stop, he reportedly claimed he was just stopping to check and see if anyone needed help, a saw was found under the vehicle, and blades for the saw were found in his possession.
Brown says Cassetty has had several previous charges of theft in South Western Kentucky over many years. He was arrested and charged with theft of motor vehicle parts and possession of burglary tools.
