Kentucky Fugitive on Tennessee's Most Wanted List

A Kentucky man has been added to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's Top Ten Most Wanted List.

Authorities are searching for Benjamin Brewer of London, KY.  He is wanted in connection with a DUI crash that happened near Chattanooga in June that killed six people.

Police say he was driving an 18-wheeler that crashed into vehicles that were stopped in a construction zone.

The indictment against Brewer was handed up earlier this week.

Update 8/10 6:12 a.m.

Police in Kentucky have arrested a truck driver accused of causing a multi-vehicle crash that killed six people at a construction zone near Chattanooga.

   Benjamin Scott Brewer was arrested Friday night in Lexington after being indicted this week on six counts of vehicular homicide.

   Lexington Police say the 39-year-old Brewer was found in a parking lot around 8:30 p.m.

   Sgt. Joe Anderson says Brewer tried to kick out a window when he was put into a police cruiser. He will be jailed in Lexington until he can be extradited to Tennessee.

   His arrest came a day after he made Tennessee's "Top 10 Most Wanted" list.

   Federal investigators say Brewer had been driving for 15 consecutive hours before the June 25 crash on Interstate 75.
