Charges Reduced For Jackson County Teens
KENTUCKY....
The charges against Ashley Sams and Corinne Schwab, both 18, have been reduced to fourth-degree assault and menacing after the teens were originally charged with kidnapping and attempted murder. Cheyenne Williams had told police that, on April 16th, Sams, Schwab and a 17 year old had tried to push her off a cliff at Flat Lick Falls in Jackson County. Attorneys for Sams and Schwab alleged Williams was a willing participant. At a hearing Thursday, Judge Henria Bailey-Lewis said the evidence did not justify charges of kidnapping and attempted murder.
