Man arrested, accused of armed carjacking, leading Louisville police on chase with stolen truck

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Louisville police have arrested a man after they say he stole a man’s truck and led police on a car chase and foot chase.

LMPD claim Briylon Tyson, who was armed with a gun, stole a man’s work truck in the 400 block of West Main Street. Police said the car was easily identifiable, and they soon tried to pull the suspect, but he took off.

Police said Tyson led officers through several streets in West Louisville before the truck eventually got stuck in an alley near Dr. W. J. Hodge Street. Tyson then allegedly fled on foot but was arrested soon afterwards.

Tyson was taken to the hospital to get checked out for an abrasion on his arm, an LMPD spokesperson said.

Tyson has been charged with robbery, evading police in a vehicle, evading police on foot, leaving the scene of an accident, criminal mischief, reckless driving, and drug paraphernalia.
