The Christian County Grand Jury returned several indictments Friday, including charges from criminal abuse of a child to assault and burglary.
The grand jury indicted 28-year old Bobby Lee Oliver of Hopkinsville for 1st Degree Criminal Abuse Child 12 or Under, and two counts of Tampering with Physical Evidence. The charges stem from March 7 when Hopkinsville Police reported a two-year old child suffered burns to his buttocks and calves, a bloody lip and bruising to both sides of the face and neck, as well as bruising and redness to his stomach and private area while in the sole custody of Oliver. Police say Oliver stated he was working on a moped when it fell over on the child, which was deemed inconsistent with the actual injuries by the Department of Community Based Services, as well as a forensic review. Oliver could not be found during the investigation and police reportedly found the moped in a shed at a friend’s house, along with bloody pajamas and a bloody towel in a garbage can outside Oliver’s house.
The grand jury also indicted 27-year old Maurice Jashawn Lane of Hopkinsville on a 2nd Degree Assault charge. The arrest warrant states Oak Grove Police reported Lane hit a female victim in the face and nose area multiple times at a party on March 25 when she tried to leave after being involved in a scuffle with some other females. Police say the victim was treated at Tennova Medical Center in Clarksville and then transferred to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville due to the severity of her injuries, which included bleeding on the brain, a broken nose, and a concussion.
39-year old Michael James Rigdon was indicted for 2nd Degree Assault Domestic Violence. The Christian County Sheriff’s Office reported Rigdon was arrested on March 20 after he allegedly shoved his girlfriend into a wall breaking her teeth during an argument at a residence on West Nashville Street in Pembroke.
29-year old Terrence LeWayne Stepp of Hopkinsville was indicted for 2nd Degree Burglary, Possession of Burglary Tools and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia after Hopkinsville Police reported officers responded to a prowler and suspected burglary in progress call in the 2000 block of Butler Road on March 26. Upon arrival, police report witnesses observed Stepp fleeing out of the back of the home and they held him down until officers arrived. During the police investigation, they found a jacket in the vicinity of Stepp that contained his cell phone, along with burglary tools and a cigarette pack containing a burnt Brillo pad and a suspected broken glass pipe.
The grand jury indicted 47-year old William David Landers of Hopkinsville on a 3rd Degree Burglary charge stemming from February 12 when police say he was captured on video surveillance unlawfully forcing entry into a storage building belonging Hopkinsville Outdoor Equipment and took a pressure washer, push mower and a bagger for a 26-inch riding mower, all totaling more than $500.
