Floyd County Man Pleads Not Guilty
KENTUCKY...
State police say, on October 24th, Trooper Cassondra Mullins responded to a call of a woman being held against her will at a home in Allen. When the door opened, KSP say 40 year old David Hall was standing there with a shot gun pointed at her. She gave him a verbal command to put the weapon down, and, at that point, she saw his finger move to the trigger, and she fired one shot, hitting Hall in the abdomen. Hall has pleaded not guilty to a charge of attempted assault on a police officer. The defense attorney asked for the charges to be reduced on the basis Hall did not fire the gun, but the judge did not agree. The lawyer also asked for his 50 thousand full cash bond to be changed to property so he can get out of jail, but, again, the judge refused, sending the case to the grand jury. Trooper Mullins is no longer on administrative leave but has returned to regular duty.
