Wanted Hopkins County man arrested at LBL campground

A wanted Hopkins County man was arrested over the weekend at a campground in the Land Between the Lakes. 

The Lyon County Sheriff and a Kentucky State Police Trooper were called out on Sunday morning to the Demumbers Bay Campground about an alleged assault. They located a female victim with apparent injuries to her head and neck, along with her child who was unhurt. 

The man who is said to have committed the assault, later identified as 32-year-old Aaron J. Williams of Madisonville, fled from the campsite and into the woods before police arrived. He was captured and charged with assault-domestic violence in the case.

A records check found that the Madisonville Police had investigated Williams for a similar incident in June. He was also charged with assault-domestic violence in that case. 

Williams was booked into the Crittenden County Detention Center.
