Laurel County Sheriff John Root says K-9 Deputy Jake Miller along with Lieut. Chris Edwards and Deputy Hunter Disney were called out to Mullins Road where a man was reportedly under a Jeep belonging to someone else attempting to cut the catalytic converter off. The homeowner caught the man, later identified as 42-year old Swade Smith of Corbin, and held him there until deputies arrived. Deputies learned that allegedly Smith rode a scooter to the property. Smith told police he thought the Jeep was abandoned and that he was going to find out who owned it before he cut the catalytic converter off. Smith was arrested and charged with attempted theft, criminal trespassing and possession of burglary tools. He was lodged in the Laurel County Correctional Center.
