A Lexington man is facing numerous charges after authorities say he broke into a motor vehicle, was found in possession of stolen goods and drugs, then tried to flee arrest.


According to arrest records, Leonard broke into a 2002 burgundy Ford Ranger, stealing $500 worth of property, including a tool bag, miscellaneous tools, pens, tobacco and other items, sometime between Friday and Sunday.

When authorities arrested Leonard on Sunday, he was in possession of a stolen Jennings .22 caliber pistol, a red Honda motorcycle and a green Suzuki Katana 600, all of which had been previously stolen from three different people.

He also possessed undisclosed amounts of heroin and methamphetamine and a glass pipe at the time of his arrest.

Leonard tried to flee on foot before he was arrested by deputies with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, according to the record.

Leonard is being held on a $100,000 bond and has a court date of Sept. 10.
