A Hopkinsville man and a Princeton man were arrested on various charges, including drug possession, following an altercation over the weekend.
Princeton Assistant Police Chief Shane Allison states that officers responded to a domestic violence call at a residence on Citizens Court just before one Sunday morning. He adds that when officers arrived and spoke with the victim and a witness investigation revealed that the suspect, 25-year-old John Oliver, of Hopkinsville, had left the scene and was unable to be located.
Assistant Chief Allison notes that around 11:45 Sunday night officers were able to locate Oliver back at the residence and a search revealed that he was allegedly in possession of suspected illicit substances.
Oliver was taken into custody and booked into the Caldwell County Jail charged with fourth-degree domestic violence, first-degree possession of methamphetamine, first-degree possession of heroin, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was also served two Christian County bench warrants for contempt of court.
Assistant Chief Allison reports that just before 3:30 Monday morning officers were contacted by 26-year-old Michael Hinman, of Princeton, who allegedly told officers that the methamphetamine found during Oliver’s arrest belonged to him. Hinman was then arrested and charged with first-degree possession of methamphetamine and was lodged in the Caldwell County Jail.
