The Mingo County Sheriff's Department recently arrested 31 year old Allen K. Brewer of Kermit and charged him with three counts of wanton endangerment, nighttime burglary, domestic assault and illegal possession of a firearm. A criminal complaint states Brewer kicked his way into the Laurel Creek home of Jimmy Pritt. Once inside, he allegedly placed an automatic handgun to the head of his girlfriend, Linda Copley, and threatened to kill her, before placing the gun against her stomach, threatening to kill her unborn child. After leaving the home, deputies say he drove by the location, firing several rounds, with two rounds striking the residence. Bond was set at $21,000.
