Police: Domestic dispute leads to arrest
RPD reports more thefts

Register News Writer
The investigation of an alleged domestic altercation Sunday led police to arrest a Richmond man on marijuana charges.
After officers responded to a report about a man holding a knife to a woman’s neck at 405 Norwood Drive, they were told that the subjects involved had retreated to an apartment inside the building.
After gaining entry to the apartment, Richmond Police spokesperson Sgt. Willard Reardon said the officers found two men and a woman inside.
No one had been injured and no altercation was taking place. As the officers checked the residence for weapons, however, Reardon said they allegedly discovered a controlled substance.
They then conducted a more thorough search and allegedly discovered three handguns, about eight ounces of marijuana, $1,100 in cash and paraphernalia associated with drug use and trafficking, Reardon said.
After he allegedly reportedly accepted responsibility for the illegal items, Lonnie David Lewis, 33, was charged with trafficking marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Because the location is near the Madison County Schools’ Bellevue Center, the additional charge of trafficking within 1,000 yards of a school was added, Reardon said.
Lewis remained lodged Monday in the Madison County Detention Center on a 10 percent $10,000 cash bond. He is scheduled to appear in district court Nov. 26.
Thefts reported
Early Sunday morning, two female patrons of the Maverick Club reported that two purses, one a Coach brand bag, had been taken from a locked vehicle in the club’s parking lot.
When they returned to the vehicle, the driver’s side rear window had been broken out and the purses removed.
The purses contained $700 in cash, a Craig MP3 player, an Estill County Deputy Jailer’s badge, two debit cards, a checkbook and numerous personal identification documents. Monetary value of the missing items was put at $840.
Also Sunday, the custodian of Banana’s Tavern, 1101 Kim Kent Drive, told police he discovered signs of forced entry upon arriving for work at 6:13 a.m.
After police arrived, they discovered an office door and a liquor closet had been forced open. The office had been ransacked. Twenty-four liquor bottles, valued at approximately $500, and an determined amount of cash was missing.
Evidence led investigators to believe that the burglary occurred around 5:30 a.m., Reardon said.
On Saturday, the owner of a McDaniel Avenue apartment reported that a recently moved tenant had removed a washer and dryer valued at $450.
Shoplifting arrests
Richmond Police charged a 15-year-old female with theft by unlawful taking, under $300, after she was detained by JCPenney employees Saturday for allegedly taking $229 in merchandise. The juvenile was released to her mother.
Two 12-year-old males were charged with theft by unlawful taking, under $300, after they were detained Saturday by Kohl’s employees on suspicion of taking goods valued at $25. Both were released to their guardians.
On Friday, a McKee man detained by Richmond Wal-Mart employees on suspicion of shoplifting merchandise valued at $87. He was charged with theft by unlawful taking, under $300, and booked at the Madison County Detention Center. After six marijuana cigarette were allegedly discovered in his pockets during a search at the jail, he also was charged with marijuana possession, Reardon said.
Anyone with information regarding any of the above crimes is asked to call the Richmond Police Department at 623-8911 or 623-1162.
