A Campbellsville man arrested last week in connection with a burglary made matters even worse on his way to jail.
Police say 23-year-old Price Turner escaped a police officer as he was being escorted to the police cruiser, and then tried to kidnap a woman after running off.
Turner was picked up at his home on Ray Street, where neighbors identified him and said he had threatened them before. Turner was first seen on Walmart surveillance video breaking into a case and stealing cell phones.

“He broke it with a wrench, stuck his hand in, cut his hand therefore leaving a blood trail,” said Sgt. Shannon Wilson.
Neighbors identified the burglary suspect as Turner and tips led police to Ray Street, where Turner lived.
Police say Turner ran from the officer about a block to the Campbellsville Water Company, where he tried to kidnap a woman in broad daylight.
“She was actually in the drive-thru of the water company paying her bill when he approached her to get into her car,” Sgt. Wilson said.
The same drive-thru customer Pat Phillips used today.
“I think it’s sad that it’s come to this, where people are so brazen to come and invade your privacy,” Phillips said.
Luckily, that officer who police say had minor injuries from the scuffle, wasn’t too far behind and took him back into custody before he could do any harm to that driver or the community.
Police say they found two stolen guns in Turner’s apartment and several other stolen items that they’ve connected to car break-ins.
