Lamotte became a person of interest in the case when shortly after the stabbing occurred officers Frankfort Police and deputies from the Franklin Co Sheriff’s office responded to a suspicious person complaint in the 1900 block of Evergreen Road in Franklin Co.

The initial caller reported a suspicious male, black with possible bloody hands on their property. Before officers could arrive the individual was able to flee from that location.

A deputy from the Franklin Co. Sheriff’s office who was responding to the complaint observed Lamotte in a neighborhood near the 1900 block of Evergreen Rd. When Lamotte saw the deputy he stopped and immediately put his hands in the air. Deputies and officers then took Lamotte into custody. Lamotte was brought to Frankfort Police Headquarters to be interviewed after being taken to Frankfort Regional Medical Center to be treated for an injury to his hand.

Lamotte resides next door to the Sanders residence. Detectives from the Frankfort Police Department continue to investigate this crime.

KSP says that a teen in Grant County died after accidentally shooting himself.

KSP responded to the call on Kelly Drive in Crittenden about an accidental shooting around 2:20 a.m. Monday morning.

Detectives say that the initial investigation shows that 17-year-old Roy Hamon was manipulating a handgun when he accidentally shot himself in the head.

KSP says that at this time, no foul play is suspected.

“He liked to act like he was big and bad, but inside he was much gentler than he’d let people believe,” said Hamon’s aunt, Regina McDaniel.

The Grant County High School senior was hanging out with his two older sisters and a couple of friends when they say he pulled out a gun.

Hamon said it was unloaded, but then the gun went off.

“It’s not a story in a book. It’s not a movie. It’s not a character. It’s real life, it’s their brother, and they never get to see him again,” said McDaniel.

Word spread across social media on Monday morning, so grief counselors were called to the school to console Hamon’s friends and classmates.

His aunt hopes people learn from this. It’s a sobering reminder that a gun is not a toy, but a weapon that can kill, and affect the lives left behind.

“It’s not a game, it’s not funny. It’s not a good Snapchat. There’s nothing funny about it,” said McDaniel.

There’s a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses.

Deputies in Franklin County have released pictures from inside a Frankfort home where they say an adult daughter neglected to care for her mother.

Deputies had told LEX 18 that the conditions inside the home were terrible, but the photos released Monday show a house covered in feces and urine, even on the kitchen stove.

Even the neighbors didn’t know how bad it was inside of the home on Stable Lane.

The 75-year-old woman was found lying on the floor, surrounded by filth. There were 18 cats and nine dogs in the home.

“There were first responders coming out and throwing up after they walked out of that residence,” said Sheriff Pat Melton.

According to deputies, four of those dogs had to be euthanized.

Investigators charged the victim’s daughter, Heather Rash, with neglect of an elderly adult and animal abuse.

“To let a woman, your mother, lay in the floor in a pile of feces for several hours and you wouldn’t pick her up because you were afraid of losing your animals,” said Sheriff Melton. “That’s inexcusable.”

Sheriff Melton told LEX 18 that the house had probably been like that for months.

“For quite a period of time. Months, probably a year or longer,” he said.

Sheriff Melton said that the victim is now in state custody and getting the care and attention she deserves.
