  • Stolen car ends up in creek

    A vehicle believed stolen from Corinth ended up upside down in a creek May 6 along U.S. 42 in Verona.
    Passing motorists contacted the Boone County Sheriff’s Office around 5 a.m. when they noticed the 1996 Ford Probe.
    When deputies responded, they found the vehicle full of water and the driver’s door open.
    A search in the car and the surrounding area did not lead police to locating the driver.
    The sheriff’s department believes the car was headed westbound of U.S. 42 before leaving the road and ending up overturned in the creek.
