Lyon County SO asking for public’s help to locate wanted suspect

The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help to locate a man wanted on multiple felony charges.

A news release says 42-year-old Rickey Baird failed to appear in court August 2 and he’s sought for parole violation.

Deputies are also investigating an incident at Baird’s Lyon County property which occurred on Friday, July 16, when police and Lyon County EMS were dispatched to a home on KY 1943 for an assault victim.

The victim was transported to Caldwell County Medical Center after walking to a home from a wooded area, and calling for help.  It was later determined the victim was assaulted on Baird’s property.  The victim was severely injured, but was treated and later released from the hospital.

Anyone knowing Baird’s whereabouts should call the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office at 270-388-2311.
