Kentucky State Police are actively searching for 45-year-old Lester Perks, a man with a lengthy criminal history dating back to 2006, following a series of incidents in Irvington, Kentucky. Authorities state that Perks is wanted for causing significant damage to vehicles and property in the Irvington area. The incident began early Wednesday morning, September 9, 2026, at approximately 5:33 a.m., prompting Breckinridge County Schools to issue a two-hour delay for classes due to a dangerous situation within the city limits. Shortly after, the district issued a Shelter-in-Place order, urging all residents within the Irvington city limits to stay inside for their safety. By 7:12 a.m., schools announced that classes were canceled for the day as the situation remained unresolved and potentially dangerous. Reports indicate that Perks was seen on foot in Irvington and may have been armed. Perks has an extensive arrest record, with at least 20 arrests since 2006, including recent charges in August 2026 for second-degree criminal mischief, menacing, and third-degree terroristic threatening. His previous addresses include locations in Irvington, Radcliff, Lewisport, and Munfordville. The Breckinridge County Sheriff’s Office and Kentucky State Police Post 4 are leading the investigation. The public is advised to remain vigilant and stay indoors if in the Irvington area. Anyone with information regarding Perks' location or activities is urged to contact local law enforcement immediately. This is an ongoing investigation, and details may change as more information becomes available. Authorities continue to search for Perks and have not yet confirmed his capture or current status beyond being at large.
