Four Hopkinsville residents accused of making children live in filth

It took 17 pages of police reports to properly document an incident on Alumni Avenue Monday morning that resulted in the arrests of four people on numerous charges.

The incident happened just before 5 at 143 Alumni, according to the report from Hopkinsville Police, which says 21-year old Brandy Breeding of Hopkinsville went to the address to demand her vehicle from her husband—22-year old Colby Breeding—following a fight from the previous night.

When Ms. Breeding went to back out of the driveway, she then allegedly pulled into the yard in an attempt to run over her husband and another man at the home—35-year old Latroy Reed.

Ms. Breeding missed hitting them, but ran into a basketball goal and tree instead. She then allegedly fled the scene to an apartment, where she was located by police and taken to Jennie Stuart Medical Center.

The Breedings reportedly lived together with another couple identified as 22-year old Justin Crenshaw and 20-year old Brandi Sneed at a 105 Thornton Court apartment.

When the investigation of the incident continued there, police allegedly found two small children living in filth, including animal feces and knives on the floor in addition to marijuana and drug paraphernalia in plain view.

The Breedings, Crenshaw and Sneed were all arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a minor. Brandy Breeding was charged with wanton endangerment and she and her husband were also charged with possession of marijuana.

Hopkinsville Salvation Army volunteers honored

Over a hundred Hopkinsville Salvation Army volunteers were honored for their years of dedicated service during an annual appreciation dinner last night.
Salvation Army Lieutenant David Costellow says he was impressed that about 150 volunteers attended the event, since last year’s attendance was down due to weather.

According to Costellow, individuals who put the needs of others before their own should be recognized and that volunteers are essential in keeping the local organization operational.

Salvation Army officials also celebrated the 25th anniversary since the organization’s soup kitchen first opened its doors to individuals looking for a hot and nutritious meal that they otherwise could not afford.
The organization is always in need of volunteers, especially in the soup kitchen. For more information about volunteer opportunities with the Hopkinsville Salvation Army, contact 270-885-9633.
