(LYON COUNTY, Ky.) — The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office released a report detailing a series of arrests and criminal incidents spanning the week of April 20–25, 2026, including drug-related offenses, fugitive apprehensions, theft, and a late-night campground disturbance involving methamphetamine and assault charges.
Fugitives Apprehended During Roadside Stop
A routine motorist assist call on KY 93 South turned into a double fugitive arrest Tuesday evening. Deputy Bobby Beeler responded to a report of a disabled vehicle around 6:13 p.m. and found a 2012 Mercedes Benz stopped with two flat tires.
The driver, Torriun Ar-Dwayne Young, 32, of Atlanta, Georgia, was found to have a revoked driver’s license and was in possession of marijuana. Deputies also discovered he was wanted by Hardin County on a domestic violence-related assault charge. His
passenger, Javonna Montayzhia Looney, 38, of Kansas City, Missouri, was determined to be a fugitive from the state of Missouri. Both were arrested and lodged in the Crittenden County Detention Center. The Eddyville Police Department assisted at the scene.
Shoplifting Arrest at Kuttawa Business
On Wednesday afternoon, Deputy Josh Travis was dispatched to a Kuttawa business on a suspicious person complaint and found James W. Patten, 63, of Gilbertsville, had stolen $582.75 worth of merchandise. Patten was arrested on a theft charge and lodged in the Crittenden County Detention Center. He was additionally served with a Hopkins District Court bench warrant Thursday evening for failure to appear on a separate traffic offense, and remains incarcerated.
Drug Charges at Lyon County High School
A drug complaint from school staff Thursday led SRO Deputy Jason Young to cite two students for marijuana possession. William Nichols, 18, of Kuttawa was found with marijuana vapes and related items and was formally charged and dismissed from school. A 15-year-old female student was also found in possession of marijuana vapes, charged accordingly, and released to a parent or guardian.
Campground Disturbance Leads to Meth, Assault Charges
The week’s most serious incident unfolded late Saturday night at a campground on Green Road, where Deputies Travis and Beeler, along with Kentucky State Police, responded to a disturbance call around 11:30 p.m. Officers discovered two separate altercations occurring within the campground.
Three Kuttawa residents were arrested as a result.
Tammy K. Roof, 55, was charged with fourth-degree assault and first-offense possession of methamphetamine.
Kevin R. Kesling, 56, faced the most serious charges of the group, including fourth-degree assault, criminal attempt at first-degree assault involving a knife or other cutting instrument, second-degree disorderly conduct, and first-offense methamphetamine possession.
Lindsey A. Iron-Road, 46, was charged with fourth-degree assault and second-degree disorderly conduct. All three were lodged in the Crittenden County Detention Center.
Other Activity
Earlier in the week, Sheriff Brent White arrested Tyree L. McGee, 26, of Paducah on a bench warrant for failure to appear on a traffic case. McGee voluntarily surrendered and posted cash bond before being released. Separately, deputies served a Clark County warrant on Monica V. Goodwin, 44, of Winchester on a child support non-support charge; she awaits extradition. Additionally, a criminal summons was served Monday on Jessica D. Jones, 33, of Kuttawa for an alleged school attendance violation, with a court date set for May in Lyon District Court.
