ASHLAND A woman stabbed her brother on Feb. 18 in his left forearm with a kitchen knife, according to court records.
The stabbing occurred at around 9:30 p.m on Greentree Court in Ashland, when the victim tried to step in between his sister and his mother in the middle of an argument, records show.
When a Boyd County Sheriffâs deputy and a Kentucky State Trooper showed up at the home, the suspect told them to take her to jail after the knife was found under a piece of paper on the coffee table, according to an arrest citation.
The victim refused medical attention at the scene, records show.
Local jail lockups were a bit light over the weekend â golly gee, do you wonder why?
With last weekâs historic ice storm rolling through northeastern Kentucky and wreaking havoc on the area roadways, it appears not a whole lot of people wound up in jail over the weekend.
Thatâs not to say police havenât been doing their jobs in less than stellar conditions â as Ashland Police Chief Todd Kelley pointed out last week, law enforcement doesnât cease because of a little bit of snow.
The following people were booked over the weekend â anyone named in the lockups should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The Ashland-Boyd County Health Department announced 18 more cases of COVID-19 on Thursday — seven of them are connected to the Boyd County Detention Center.
