One man was injured, and one man was arrested after a physical altercation on Thursday, Oct. 15, according to the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office.
At roughly 9 a.m. law enforcement was dispatched in response to a disturbance complaint approximately 14 miles south of Eddyville, according to the sheriff’s office. On the way to the complaint, another 911 call reporting “shots being fired” was received by the Kentucky State Police dispatch.
Both calls were reported at the same location, the office stated.
Lyon County Sheriff Brent White, chief deputy Sam Adams and Eddyville Police Chief Jordan Parrish arrived on scene, and it was determined that “there was a dispute involving a property owner and a contractor which led to a minor physical altercation,” the office stated.
During the minor physical altercation, the son of the property owner — Jacob Triska, 25, of Edddyville — ran to “a nearby residence and retrieved a handgun before returning to the scene of the argument and firing two shots at the contractor,” the sheriff’s office stated.
While the contractor was not hit with the shots, he was injured during his attempt to retreat to cover, according to the sheriff’s release.
Triska was arrested by Adams and charged with first-degree wanton endangerment. He is lodged in the Crittenden County Detention Center.
