WOODFORD COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — In February, LEX 18 reported that Wesley Ward had 12 trophies stolen from his home in Versailles.
Wednesday night, police arrested 48-year-old Brian Wylie in connection to the theft.
Wylie has been charged with receiving stolen property between $1,000-$10,000, driving under the influence, and possession of a controlled substance.
Police say they are still looking for others involved. Versailles Police Department made the arrest and was able to recover seven of the 12-14 items reported stolen.

The trophies will not be returned to Ward because the investigation is ongoing.
"Those are my most precious gifts other than my kids," Wesley Ward said in February.
Lexington Police Department and Montgomery County Sheriff's Office are assisting with the ongoing investigation.
