Arrests made for early morning burglary, assault

Andrew Ferguson

Three suspects were arrested following a burglary and assault early Thursday morning at a Pennyrile Homes residence on North Elm Street.

Hopkinsville police were called to the home just after 1 a.m. and the victims told officers three male suspects had forced their way inside and assaulted a woman and her nephew before leaving.

The victims sustained minor injuries and a vehicle believed to be involved was located soon after at a Center Street address.

Officers made contact with 25-year old Andrew Ferguson of Marion, 25-year old Jessie Williams of Crofton and a juvenile.

Arrest citations for the suspects say Williams drove Ferguson and the minor to the home to fight the people inside and that all three matched the description given by the victims.

The victims sustained minor injuries in the attack, according to the report.

The suspects are charged with first-degree burglary and fourth-degree assault.
