(Ashland, KY) - Kentucky State Police in Ashland is continuing its investigation into the Armed Robbery that occurred at Tackett's Grocery Store on Ky 207. Kentucky State Police Trooper Ben Tanner was dispatched Sunday afternoon to respond to an armed robbery that had just occurred at Tackett's Grocery located just off KY 1 about 5 miles south of Greenup. While enroute to the scene, Trooper Tanner was observing for the suspect vehicle, which was reported as a blue Dodge Neon. Trooper Tanner spotted the vehicle on KY 207 near the junction of Tom Road (a few miles North of Flatwoods, Ky) in which he conducted a traffic stop.
