SCOTT COUNTY, KENTUCKY — A 77-year-old woman who lives alone on Rogers
Gap Road shot one of two 19-year-old men who tried to break into her
home early Sunday, police said.
Wesley Mays of Sadieville was still being treated yesterday for a wound
to his abdomen at University of Kentucky Hospital, said Detective Jack
Patrick of the Scott County sheriff’s department. He will probably be
charged with second-degree burglary, Patrick said.
Thelma Vance told deputies she awoke around 1:30 a.m. to banging on her
back door. She grabbed her .38-caliber gun and fired four shots,
including one that struck Mays, who Vance said was trying to climb
through a bedroom window.
They fled by car before crashing into a guardrail on I-75.
Deputies later caught up with them at a gas station, where Mays,
wounded, collapsed to the floor, Patrick said.
Andre Newcomb of Lexington was charged with complicity to commit
burglary and is being held at the Scott County jail in lieu of a $10,000
bond.
