Altercation Leads to Injuries, One Arrest

Two young women were injured in an altercation early Friday morning on Farwood Drive that resulted in the arrest of one of them.

Paducah Police responded to a disturbance involving a knife and found 19-year-old Janai E. Orr bleeding from injuries to her face. She told police that she had been assaulted by 18-year-old Alissa M. Jones, who lives in the same area.

Both Jones and Orr were treated at a local hospital and released. Jones admitted to a detective that she cut Orr, and she was arrested for second-degree assault. Jones was also charged with tampering with physical evidence because she threw the knife in a nearby wooded area, where it was found by police and kept as evidence.

Jones was booked into McCracken County Regional Jail.
