Fancy Farm, Ky.—A woman is in critical condition and a man in jail following an incident Tuesday afternoon in the Fancy Farm area.
After arrival at their Tyler Road home, Graves County deputies revived the woman with Narcan. Sheriff Jon Hayden said the quick response and the actions of Detective Brooke Amberg and Sgt. Richard Edwards most likely saved the woman’s life.
Sheriff Hayden, Captain Jeremy Prince, Detective Sgt. Richard Edwards, Detective Brooke Amberg, and Deputy Steve Halsell responded to a 911 call at 284 Tyler Road.
The 911 caller said a female there had her throat cut and was unresponsive. The caller also said he had been cut.
Sgt. Edwards and Det. Amberg were first on scene. They met 39-year-old Justin Jones at the back door of the residence. Jones had a superficial cut around his neck.
The female was located lying on her back by the back door unresponsive but breathing, according to the press release.
The female also had cuts on various locations on her body to include her neck area. The lacerations were new but superficial. She also had syringe injection marks consistent to drug use, deputies said.
Sgt. Edwards and Det. Amberg administered two doses of Narcan to the female in attempts to revive her. The Narcan did render her responsive but not conscious.
Mayfield Graves County EMS arrived shortly afterward and attempted to further revive her, later transporting the female to Jackson Purchase Medical Center. She reportedly is in critical but stable condition.
During the investigation of the incident, detectives located a syringe that field tested positive for methamphetamine as well as the knife used in the assault.
Justin Jones was arrested, cleared by EMS for his injuries, and lodged at the Graves County Jail.
Both Jones and the unidentified female lived at the residence.
Charges filed against Jones:
-Possession of a controlled substance, 1st degree, 1st offense, methamphetamine.
-Possession of drug paraphernalia.
The investigation is continuing. Additional charges are possible.
