KSP continues search for ‘armed and dangerous’ man in Irvington

The search for a man considered armed and dangerous continues in Irvington after KSP said he caused significant damage to vehicles in the area Wednesday morning.

Lester Perks, 45, allegedly broke the windows of a dozen vehicles with a claw hammer, WHAS11 reports.

Perks is described as 5’11” Black male weighing 160 pounds. The public is encouraged to not approach him and contact authorities if they see him.

Breckinridge County Schools first alerted the public to the situation around 6:30 a.m. and initially planned to operate on a two-hour delay, but made the decision to close around 8 a.m. as the situation continues. Irvington City Government offices announced their closure shortly after.

Details surrounding the situation are limited at this time.
