The Christian County Grand Jury returned several indictments Friday for wanton endangerment and other charges.
26-year old Trevor Putty of Hopkinsville was indicted for third-degree Use of Weapon Of Mass Destruction, 1st Degree Wanton Endangerment, two counts of Possession of a Handgun By a Convicted Felon and several other charges. The charges stem from July 29 when deputies responded to a home on the Princeton Road for a disturbance where they say Putty slammed a hammer on the toe of a female victim and then threatened her while holding a gun to her head and stomach/pelvis area. Putty then left the home before deputies arrived. During a search of the home, deputies reportedly found what appeared to be a bomb/weapon of mass destruction in a bedroom in a black plastic bag that was six inches long and two white wires sticking out of the same end, wrapped in saran wrap with two different powdery chemicals in it. Deputies also reportedly found two firearms inside the home.
20-year old Dreon Key of Nashville, Tennessee was indicted for two counts of second degree Assault of a Police Officer, three counts of first degree Wanton endangerment, first degree Fleeing and Evading Police and other charges. On July 14, 2017, Key allegedly tried to run over two officers with his vehicle when fleeing from police.
