A Graves County man is accused of attempting to set fire to a home with himself, a woman and four children inside.

State Police were called to a home in Mayfield early this morning after dispatch received a 911 call asking for help. The caller said Floyd Holmes III was making threats against her and her four children.

Livingston                 Neel

Two young men were arrested for allegedly trespassing on the campus of Trigg County High School yesterday morning.

Cadiz Police say two men were observed inside the school just after 11:30, having not signed in. When an administrator attempted to confront them, the pair allegedly ran to their vehicle in the middle school parking lot.

School Resource Officer Dave Colbert was able to stop the vehicle, with 20-year old Joshua Livingston of Happy Hollow Road and 19-year old Zachary Neel unable to give a legitimate reason for being on campus.

Police say a search of Livingston revealed a pipe commonly used to smoke drugs in his pants pocket and that Neel could not provide proof of insurance on his vehicle and that he wasn’t properly displaying his license plate.

Both men were charged with 1^st degree Criminal Trespass.
