A Christian County Grand Jury returned an indictment for first-degree assault against the man accused of stabbing another man with a knife multiple times in October.
Forty-three-year-old Tremayne Welch of Hopkinsville was indicted Friday for first-degree assault—he is alleged to have stabbed a male victim multiple times at a location on South Main Street. Welch allegedly admitted to Hopkinsville police to stabbing the man with a knife multiple times after they had been cleaning and doing drugs together, claiming the victim had made unwanted sexual advances to him and that he attempted to make sexual contact.
The victim was covered with blood when he sought help at another apartment and was taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center, where he was then transferred by ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, where he was treated for a collapsed lung and other injuries and then released.
Indicted for second-degree assault is 43-year old Catherine Lee of Indian Mound, Tennessee, who is alleged have either intentionally or wantonly caused physical injury to a victim by means of a dangerous instrument on June of 2021.
