An 18-year-old Owensboro man is facing multiple felony charges after an overnight police pursuit Wednesday morning linked to car break-ins on Boarman Drive. Officers responded to reports of suspicious activity and spotted two armed suspects in dark clothing before a third suspect fled in a vehicle, striking a police cruiser. Authorities say the chase ended when the stolen car crashed near Apollo High School. The driver, identified as Avery Buckner, was captured after trying to escape on foot. Police recovered a discarded rifle, but as of Wednesday afternoon, two suspects remain at large. Tips and surveillance footage are being sought by Owensboro Police and Crime Stoppers.
