MAYFIELD, Ky. (KFVS) - Mayfield Police are working to track down a shooting suspect who ran away from officers during an attempted traffic stop on Monday, February 22.
Officers said they tried to pull over a blue Dodge truck on Mayfair Drive after learning the driver was allegedly connected to firing a gun within the city.
The suspect drove the truck off of the road into a yard and took off running from the area.
A Sharon Grove man charged in connection to a Hopkinsville man’s death during a fall hunting accident was arrested Sunday afternoon. The Christian County Grand Jury indicted Julian Newton Jr. Friday on charges of second-degree manslaughter, first-degree wanton endangerment, taking wildlife from a vehicle, and illegal taking of a deer.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife investigated the incident that occurred on McKinney Road on October 18. Officials said Newton had thought Charles Newton and his wife had already left the area when he shot what he thought was a deer. They add he was using a muzzleloader and hunting from his vehicle in a field.
