Kentucky man arrested for home invasion in Thompsonville

On Sunday, May 6, 2018 at 1:16 a.m. deputies with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department responded to a residence in rural Thompsonville after dispatch had received a 911 call reporting an armed home invasion. 

The armed individual was an ex-boyfriend of the reporting party.  After a brief stand-off the armed individual was disarmed by another male inside the residence.  The suspect was taken into custody by Deputies and an AK47 style rifle was recovered.  There is no evidence the firearm was actually discharged during the incident, even though several people were threatened with it, including responding Deputies.

 Taken into custody was Lucas C. Boyd age 24 of Fort Campbell, Kentucky.  Boyd is being held on tentative charges of home invasion with a firearm (Class X felony), aggravated unlawful use of a weapon (Class 4 felony), aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (Class A misdemeanor), and resisting arrest (Class A misdemeanor).  Boyd is in the Franklin County Jail and is being held without bond pending review by the State’s Attorney’s Office and the setting of bond by the Circuit Court.
