Three men charged in connection to a November robbery were indicted by the Christian County Grand Jury Friday.
True bills were returned on Maurice Catlett, Jeffrey White and Timothy Lamont Lyle, all of Hopkinsville, on charges of second-degree complicity to robbery. Catlett was also indicted on charges of first-degree fleeing from police on foot, third-degree assault of a police officer, resisting arrest, first-degree possession of a controlled substance – methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and controlled substance prescription not in a proper container.
The charges stem from November 16 when Hopkinsville Police reported Catlett, White and Lyle pushed a 58-year old man in a wood line off West 7th Street and took his money and backpack. Police said Catlett fought with officers as he was being arrested and attempted to flee on foot before hitting an officer in the mouth. After Catlett was taken into custody, police reportedly found him in possession of pills and meth.
In a separate true bill, Lyle was charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance – methamphetamine and second-degree possession of synthetic drugs, second offense, from November 16 after officers found him with the drugs during his arrest.
The grand jury indicted Tiffany Jean Hart, of Hopkinsville on charges of fraudulent use of a credit card over $1,000 under $10,000 and four counts of first-degree unlawful access to a computer.
Between November 17, 2023 and November 18, 2023, Hart is accused of using a credit card that didn’t belong to her to rent rooms at the Towne Place Suites by Marriott in Hopkinsville for her personal use.
In a second indictment, Hart is charged with knowingly exploiting an adult by a person over $300, second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, and theft by deception under $1,000.
According to the indictment, between January 1, 2023 and November 13, 2023, Hart allegedly exploited an elderly individual resulting in the loss of approximately $10,000. She is also accused of forging a $464 check to Fortera Credit Union and possessing a check card for $230.
