Negotiations continue toward a potential resolution in the case of a Hopkinsville man charged with felony assault.
Public defender Eric Bearden represents 55-year old Carlos Potter of Hopkinsville and says he’s looked over an evaluation conducted by the Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center and the commonwealth has put a plea offer on the table.
He asked Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jerad Smith for any medical records from the victim related to the case and requested Judge Andrew Self to set another court date.
Judge Self scheduled another hearing for November 14.
Potter is accused of striking a woman on the head with a hammer during an altercation in October of last year at a home on Howell Street.
