Jackson County officials are investigating after a domestic dispute that resulted in a shooting incident.

JCSO Deputies responded to the residence where they found William Bruce Strohmaier sitting inside his vehicle with a gunshot wound to his arm and side.  The victim stated his wife shot him as he and another woman entered the residence and walked into the kitchen area of the home.

The victim stated Brenda Strohmaier opened a bathroom door and began firing a .45 caliber handgun at the victim, which resulted in his injuries.

He told deputies that the shooting occurred because Brenda believed her husband to be having an affair.

Brenda Strohmaier was arrested and charged with first degree assault. She is currently lodged in the Jackson County Detention Center.

William Bruce Strohmaier was transported by ambulance to St. Joseph, London Hospital where he was treated and released.

Investigators are looking for people they say are responsible for ripping off a Jessamine County business.

Hus Equipment and M&W Moving and Landscaping were hit by the brazen burglars around 1:30 a.m.

The thieves were caught on video.

“We saw on our video surveillance, they used my pickup truck to take the first trailer of the property, went somewhere stopped, dropped it off, came back and then hooked to the other trailer and drove it off as well,” said Hunter Rupard, the owner and operator of Hus Equipment.

They made off with stolen trailers, mowers, weed eaters, a pickup truck and more.

They even used a vehicle to pull a mower out of the mud when it got stuck.

“It does appear that they knew kind of what they were looking for,” said Detective John Bourne with the Jessamine County Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives believe that the damage and stolen equipment will likely add up to more than $100,000.

Rupard said he hopes the law catches up with the thieves before they strike again.

“I want them caught because I don’t want them doing this to someone else,” said Rupard.

The Rupard family is offering a cash reward for information leading to arrests and the recovery of stolen equipment. If you have any information, you’re asked to call the Jessamine County Sheriff’s Office at (859) 887-5447.

Police from three counties are trying to track down the owners of hundreds of items stolen in a multi-county theft syndicate.

Brittany Woodward is one of the lucky ones getting her stuff back quickly. Hundreds of people in Franklin, Shelby, Anderson, and Scott Counties were victimized by a syndicate of thieves.

“I felt violated, my gosh,” said Woodward. “I didn’t even want to check the rest of my vehicle because I had some really important stuff in my trunk and thankfully they didn’t go through there.”

Woodward had saved up money to buy a hunting bow that was stolen from her before she could even use it.

Police say Justin Hendershot is one of the people who stole Woodward’s bow, along with dozens of cell phones, firearms, shoes and anything else of value.

Police say he was holding a yard sale at his house when police arrested him.

Investigators have stopped the thieves and they still expect more arrests.

The two suspects in a Lee County murder who spent more than a week on the run were arraigned Thursday in an Owsley County courtroom.

Kentucky State Police say Jay Shoemaker, 39, and Raigan Griffin, 22, were wanted in connection with Billy Roark’s death. Roark and James R. Brown were killed in separate incidents in Lee County. The judge entered a not guilty plea on behalf of the two defendants.

In addition to those two, police tell LEX 18, 34-year-old Anthony Taylor and 23-year-old Kasandra White are charged with murder and complicity to murder in the deaths of both Roark and Brown. Wesley Johnson, 22, and Kevin Kendall, 32, are charged with complicity to murder.

Both Shoemaker and Griffin have been appointed public defenders. They will be back in court August 29.

Also in court this morning was Kendall’s wife, who was working to dismiss a domestic violence order against him. There will be a hearing on August 23rd in Lee County, in which Kevin Kendall will be present.

A woman is dead after a crash on McCowans Ferry Road in Versailles.

The coroner has identified her as 58 year-old Theresa Lake from Woodford County.

Police are still trying to determine what caused the car to crash off the side of the road.

They say the accident happened right around 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

A witness said that the woman was driving an Infiniti and went off the road, crashing into a rock wall before overturning.

“She was extricated from the vehicle. First aid was given at the scene, but she was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Woodford County Coroner’s Office,” said Sgt. Daniel Clark with the Versailles Police Dept.

Traffic was stopped for hours as police examined the road for skid marks, talked to witnesses and reconstructed the collision.

Even though it was raining at the time of the accident, police say a medical condition may have played a role in her driving off the road.

“There’s not anything on the roadway right now to indicate that the driver lost control or anything. It appears that the driver just drove straight off the road here on this curve and hit the rock wall,” said Sgt. Clark.

Once police were done at the scene, the car was towed and the police cruisers left.

The coroner says Theresa Lake’s body was taken to Frankfort for an autopsy, and they hope to have results tomorrow.

Berea Police are still looking for missing man Jacob Tipton who has been missing since April 23^rd.

His car was found abandoned in a Hart County cemetery. KSP was involved in the case, but since that time, Berea police have taken the case and towed the vehicle back to the police department.

They searched the car for evidence which was sent off to a lab

“His vehicle was located several counties away. We have been in contact with the law enforcement agencies down there, and trying to work with those folks, but there is a lot to it. At this point, we’ve done all we can do,” said Officer Jake Reed with Berea Police.

Tipton’s mother, Tonja Grant, told LEX 18 that too much time was wasted waiting to gather evidence. She said that during the month the car was sitting in Hart County, it was towed and eventually ended up at a used car lot where it was set to be sold before investigators reportedly realized it.

Grant said that the critical delay caused the case to go cold.

Investigators are asking anyone with any information to please call the Berea Police station.

Grant says she will continue to spread awareness on Facebook.
