A Hopkinsville man who was scheduled to be sentenced in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday morning on three felony charges, including two counts of attempted murder, didn’t show up in court again.
Brian Ellis was scheduled to appear before Chief Circuit Judge John Atkins. Judge Atkins stated that Ellis had apparently cut off his ankle monitor and a bench warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Ellis is charged with two counts of attempted murder, six counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, and multiple drug charges in connection to an incident on Dawson Springs Road in September 2020. Christian County sheriff’s deputies reported Ellis shot a home twice and then shot a car on Hart Road. Deputies said they determined Ellis was involved in both shootings, and he was arrested shortly thereafter on Wallace Avenue.
In a separate case, Ellis is also charged with first-degree wanton endangerment of a police officer, first-degree fleeing from police, and failure to yield. His third felony case involves drug charges and a third-degree criminal mischief charge.
