The suspects, who are still at large, fled the scene in a gold or silver 2010-2015 Hyundai Elantra after driving towards an officer and allegedly putting them in substantial risk of physical injury or death. The officer fired their weapon during the incident and was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.

In the second incident, the Lexington Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying and locating the suspect from an armed robbery of a postal worker that took place on January 30th. The suspect appeared behind the mail carrier brandishing a firearm and demanded their keys. The mail carrier complied, and the suspect fled the scene with the mail carrier’s bag. The suspect is considered armed and dangerous and anyone with information is asked to call the Lexington Police or submit anonymous tips to Bluegrass Crime Stoppers.
