RANDOLPH COUNTY, AR (KAIT) – The Randolph County Sheriff's Department is searching for a man after he reportedly ran from police following a three-county car chase.

According to Randolph County Sheriff Gary Tribble, officers tried to pull over a man around 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Tribble says the man ran a stop sign and then took off when an officer tried to pull him over.

The chase continued into Lawrence and Sharp counties and ended on Highway 63 W when police used spike strips to stop the car.

Tribble tells Region 8 News that several agencies helped with the chase.

If you’re going to steal someone’s credit card and use it to buy a bunch of stuff, try to avoid stores with surveillance cameras.

Investigators say an Izard County man didn’t follow that piece of advice and now he’s in jail.

Kenton Johnson, 50, of Pineville was arrested Monday on a Marion County felony warrant for commercial burglary, theft of property and shoplifting.

Sheriff’s investigators say Johnson and another person were captured on camera stealing items from several Yellville stores, as well as an employee’s purse.
