  • 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.

    A search in the car and the surrounding area did not lead police to locating the driver.
