An Elkton man has been charged Saturday in connection to a home invasion in Logan County on August 1st.
Logan County Sheriff’s deputies say 35-year-old Joshua Taylor of Russellville showed up at Jennie Stuart Health just before 2 a.m. with a gunshot wound to the abdomen claiming he was shot in Fairview at a party. Law enforcement from both counties searched the area but could not locate a crime scene.
Taylor reportedly told law enforcement his truck was in a field in Fairview but was seen on camera at the hospital when he was dropped off by someone else. Taylor was transported to a Nashville hospital, where the full extent of his injuries was unknown.
Deputies say around 9 am August 1st they were called to Deer Lick Road in Logan County to the report of a home invasion that took place around 1 am when Taylor allegedly entered the home by force and was shot by the homeowner.
Deputies asked for help locating William Rice, of Elkton who was also wanted in connection to the home invasion and he was located Saturday and charged with first-degree burglary.
Taylor was arrested shortly after the incident and charged with first-degree burglary, fourth-degree assault, and second-degree criminal mischief.
