Police are asking the public's help in finding a Lily man who led police on a 30 minute police chase Wednesday, according to the Corbin Police Department.

The man, Layton Champlin, 44, is the son-in-law of Johnny Dale Marcum, 48, also of Lily, who was arrested Thursday morning at Kroger, 14889 N. U.S. 25 East, Corbin, police said.
