Four Scott County residents were arrested for breaking into a woman’s home and for beating her son.
The victim’s mother tells LEX 18 that the attack was all over a woman however, the suspect denies that the events happened as they say.
42-year-old Herman Hughes was jailed for burglary, assault, criminal mischief and public intoxication in connection with the confrontation at Roanna Cuellar’s house.

Cuellar is still shaken over the attack and she hopes it is something she can soon forget, “It was just so traumatic and my home and I didn’t even know these people and it was just over really jealousy and resentment. To come in and do me and my son like that it’s just awful.”
Cuellar says that Hughes kicked in the door and assaulted her son, because he is dating Hughes’ ex-girlfriend. Three others were arrested with them.
Hughes, however, tells LEX 18’s Jennifer McGraw a different version of events.
“We knocked on the door and he came outside, they came outside, three of them came out,” says Hughes.
Hughes, his daughter, her boyfriend and Hughes’ nephew were arrested. Cuellar says that a fifth juvenile ran off.
Roanna says it’s an attack she’ll probably never forget and she won’t let it happen again.
“I’m totally against guns, I hate them, I don’t like them, but I’ll be darned if someone is going to come into my house and do me and my son like that,” she told LEX 18.
