Pace was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center on a $25,000 full-cash bond and now awaits trial.

A Lynch woman was also arrested on June 7, with her charges connected to a kidnapping case.

Alexis Jenkins, 27, was arrested by Kentucky State Police trooper Darren Lowe on June 7.

According to the citation, she was a passenger in a car involved in Lowe’s investigation, which showed Jenkins had a federal warrant for her arrest entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The information was then confirmed by the United States Marshal Service.

The original case allegedly tied Jenkins to a kidnapping case, requiring a warrant for extradition.

Jenkins was charged as a fugitive from another state (warrant required) and was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center on a $50,000 full-cash bond, awaiting extradition.
