LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man has been arrested after he stole a vehicle with a baby inside and crashed on I-65, according to Shepherdsville Police Chief Rick McCubbin.

Authorities in Bullitt County were notified around 9:14 a.m. that a vehicle had been stolen from a Kroger parking lot with a baby inside. The vehicle was spotted on I-65, and police pursued the suspect, identified as Joshua Reynolds, into Jefferson County where he crashed on I-65 N near Outer Loop.

The 13-month-old girl was not injured, but was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

Reynolds was arrested without incident. He faces charges of kidnapping, auto theft, wanton endangerment, fleeing and evading, and DUI.
