An Elkton man is charged with assault in the first degree for an alleged attack with a metal pipe from earlier this month in Christian County.
The warrant obtained by the Christian County Sheriff’s Office and served by Elkton Police alleges 47-year old Stacy Botts of Elkton went to the victim’s home on June 16 and attacked him with a metal pipe, causing a large laceration to his head, splitting his ear and injuring his ribs.
The victim heard a vehicle pull up at his residence and believed it was his girlfriend returning after a fight, but instead found Botts, who is the ex-husband of Botts’ girlfriend.
Botts reportedly told the victim he was going to kill him before the alleged attack.
Arraignment was held Monday in Christian District Court, where Judge Lindsey Adams entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
The victim, who is not named on the warrant, received medical treatment at a hospital—receiving staples to his head and police say his ear had to be sewn back together.
Botts is lodged in the Christian County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
