James Gosser, 20, and Jonathan Bolton, 26, are both from Nicholasville and were discovered at Sunnyside Drive in Nicholasville.

According to the press release, the Sheriff’s Office received a call to assist the Lexington Police Department with a theft investigation.

The deputies discovered Gosser and Bolton in possession of two stolen ATV’s, a stolen side by side and a stolen sport bike.
