Two arrested following reports of landlord shooting at tenants
PHELPS, Ky. — Two people were arrested Tuesday evening after reports of gunfire in Phelps.
Kentucky State Police responded Widows Branch just before 6 p.m., after a man reported that his landlord was actively shooting at his home. The man told police his landlord, identified as 70-year-old Ralph Hamilton, who lives next-door, threatened to kill him and his dog and began firing his gun at his house, which had four people inside. The man said the argument began because Hamilton was trying to evict him.
Hamilton told police there had been no gunshots, then later changed his story and said maybe the tenant was the one firing the gun. The police report noted that Hamilton appeared to be intoxicated.
The tenant had recorded audio of gunshots and police found numerous 9 millimeter casings on the porch of Hamilton’s home.
A woman inside Hamilton’s home, 55-year-old Cammy Hamilton, said she didn’t know anything about a gun being in the house and didn’t hear any gunshots because she was sleeping. But later, police found the gun wrapped in a blanket where Cammy Hamilton said she had been sleeping.
They also found meth and a pipe in the home.
Ralph Hamilton was arrested and charge with four counts of wanton endangerment, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, alcohol intoxicating and terroristic threatening. Cammy Hamilton was arrested on a charge of hinder prosecution. Both were also charged with possession of meth and drug paraphernalia.
