Hopkinsville man charged with first-degree criminal abuse

A Hopkinsville man has been arrested on a first-degree criminal child abuse charge.

According to the Hopkinsville police report, 22-year-old Christian Knox of Hopkinsville allegedly left his 19-month-old child home alone, leaving the child in a situation that could have caused serious physical injury.

That’s because of the age of the child and what the report deems as unfit and dangerous living conditions in the house.
