Laurel County Sheriff John Root says deputies were called out to a home on Echo Valley Road where 44-year-old Freddy Humfleet allegedly beat a woman severely, causing the woman to have a miscarriage of a 10-week old fetus. Humfleet is accused of hitting the woman with a wooden board, choked her, and punched her leaving the woman with cuts and severe bruising. The woman showed police where she had buried the fetal remains. She had placed them in a small, blue metal container, covered it with rocks, and placed a small commemorative stone on top. As police continued to investigate, they found meth in the possession of Humfleet and a glass pipe. Humfleet was arrested and charged with homicide, assault, strangulation, and possession of a controlled substance. Humfleet was lodged in the Laurel County Correctional Center. Lieut. Chris Edwards leads the investigation and was assisted at the scene by Shift Sgt. John
