A Pikeville man is in custody after allegedly leading police on car and foot chase early this morning. Around 2:00 am a Deputy with the Pike County Sheriffs Department was stopped by a citizen who reported that a male subject had attempted to break into a car. The citizen pointed out the alleged suspect and Deputy Chris Robinson then initiated a pursuit. According to the arrest citation 30 year old Denver Stewart of Chloe Rd allegedly fled the scene; driving into a near by yard and then fleeing on foot.
