PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Pike County woman was arrested Thursday over allegations she bought alcohol for a minor and tried to have sex with him.

Pikeville Police received a call from a woman who reported that she had found messages on her 16-year-old son’s phone from Kristi Coleman, 38, of Pikeville. The messages included statements that she wished he were 18 and offering to buy the teen alcohol if he would come stay with her.

Coleman was arrested and, when interviewed, reportedly admitted to offering him alcohol and buying him an alcoholic beverage at a gas station June 30. She also allegedly admitted that she was talking with him in an attempt to have sex with him, saying she knew he was underage, but that he didn’t “look or act like he was only 16.” 

Coleman is now charged with sexual extortion, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, as well as a misdemeanor count of unlawful transaction with a minor. She is being held in the Pike County jail on a $2,000 cash bond.

SALYERSVILLE, Ky. — A child’s trip to McDonald’s for breakfast was allegedly the spark that led to a Magoffin County woman being charged with attempted murder.

Kentucky State Police was called Sunday morning to a home on Combs Branch Road over reports of an assault and shooting.

During their investigation, troopers were told that Macey Jo May, 25, of Salyersville, had become angry at a woman for taking a 5-year-old to get breakfast at McDonald’s and began hitting her on the side of the head. When another woman tried to separate the two, May allegedly turned on the other woman and began hitting her in the face.

Neighbors then tried to get May to stop, only for her to allegedly respond she would “eat them one by one.” Afterwards, May allegedly reached into her purse, pulled out a handgun and fired two shots before the gun jammed. The second shot reportedly nearly hit one of the women with whom she had been fighting.

After police took May into custody, she told them she could not remember anything that happened that morning. She has been charged with attempted murder, five counts of wanton endangerment, assault and terroristic threatening. She is being held in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville.
