Theft In Knox County

{Barbourville, Kentucky}...Kenneth Hooker, Johnny Saylor, Debra Kelly, Sandy Allen Rice, Jerry Middleton, Ted Ray Davis and David Davis have been arrested in connection to a theft in Knox County. Charles Collins says thieves have stolen items from his scrap yard for months, but he feared for his life when he encountered the thieves on his property near Barbourville. Collins says, when he saw four of the men, he blocked the road with his vehicle and got his shotgun, and, while three of the men ran away, Kenneth Hooker, stayed and wrestled for the gun. Collins says, during the fight with Hooker for the gun, he found a knife on the ground and he ripped Hooker twice. The suspects ran away from the scene before deputies arrived.
