Arraignment was held in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday morning for 29-year old Taraneisha Quarles of Hopkinsville, who allegedly shot a man June 22 on East 18th Street.
Attorney Jarrod Jackson entered a not guilty plea on behalf of Quarles and Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jerad Smith says he’ll be turning over all evidence soon.
Judge John Atkins scheduled her next hearing for September 15.
She is charged with first-degree assault, with Hopkinsville police alleging she shot 45-year old David Powell four times with a pistol, causing injuries that sent him to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Quarles, who lived in the same home with Powell, reportedly told police she shot him because she believed he was reaching for a bow.
