UPDATE:

One person has been arrested after Lexington Police say that they drove into the Fayette Mall on Friday night.

The mall was closed at the time of the incident, and there were no injuries reported, but police say the driver traveled through the mall and did a decent amount of damage.

Police also say the car was reported stolen, and it was spotted twice earlier Friday evening, once at the transit center downtown.

Our team caught the car being driven out of the building. It appeared to be a security vehicle.
