TRIGG COUNTY, Ky. (KFVS) - Kentucky State Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting.
According to the preliminary investigation, Trigg County deputies went to a home on Gold Dust Trail in the Rockcastle community to try to serve an arrest warrant.
The deputies were “met with resistance” by a man at the home who was identified as the wanted person.
KSP said a deputy fired his service weapon, hitting and wounding the suspect.
âThese upgrades probably should have been made a year or two ago,â he said. âWe were waiting on equipment to be bought and other things to be done.â
A fourth item the court approved at its meeting was for the purchase of wheeled excavator road equipment for the Trigg County Road Department at a cost of $98,891. Alexander said the county has $145,900 left in its equipment account, and given that, he didnât see any issues with buying the equipment or having any problems with anything else needing to be replaced before the end of the fiscal year.
The excavation equipment is being purchased from Rudd Equipment Co., in Evansville, Ind.

Police in Trigg County have arrested an alleged peeping tom accused of looking at woman through her window.
A woman on Adams Mill Road contacted the Trigg County Sheriff’s Office after suspecting someone was peeping in her window and to report that her driver’s license was removed from her vehicle. She also noticed a block of wood under her bedroom window that she had not placed there which could have been used for someone to stand on to look inside.
A short time after her license was taken, 26-year old Christopher Hightower of Cadiz sent her a Facebook message, even though she did not know him.
