 A man was arrested on Mother's Day involving an incident with his mother. A former 911 dispatcher is indicted for sex crimes and Pikeville residents honored law enforcement with two special ceremonies. It all happened this week. Welcome everyone to This Week, I'm Shawn Allen. For the next half hour we'll catch you up on the news you may have missed and give you updates on the week that was in your hometown. Police were called out to Elkhorn City after a man allegedly tried to break into his mother's home on Mother's Day. As troopers arrived on scene they found 27-year-old Michael Anderson walking out of a camper near the home toward officers in an aggressive manner. Anderson ignored commands from police pulling away from them while being detained. In route to the Pike County Detention Center Anderson allegedly stated he would not go to jail like this next time and would carry a gun with him to kill himself or someone else. He faces multiple charges including resisting arrest, terroristic threatening and menacing. A Mingo County man is behind bars for allegedly breaking into a Pike County convenience store back in March. 33-year-old Matthew Colegrove of Raw is accused of forcibly entering the Speedway and Belfry on March 19th, taking nearly $1,500 in lottery tickets and more than $160 in cigarettes. Colegrove was arrested Monday and lodged in the Pike County Detention Center, facing third-degree burglary. Two West Virginia men have been indicted in a Belfry robbery last month, which one of the men threw hot coffee on a store clerk. According to the indictment in Pike County, 20-year-old George Runyon Jr. and 22-year-old Justin Runyon, both of Del Barton, are charged with first-degree robbery. The robbery occurred on April 21st at the 7-Eleven in Belfry. Surveillance footage shows one of the men throwing coffee on the clerk, then both the men taking money from the cash register before fleeing. The use of force elevated the incident from what likely would have been a misdemeanor to one that now could include a significant prison sentence. The use of that coffee and the injuries caused to the clerk make this a first-degree robbery, which carries up to 20 years in prison. The theft itself, had it not involved an injury or a threat to the clerk, would probably have been a misdemeanor with jail time only. So anytime force is used or force is threatened or a weapon is used in a theft, that quickly elevates it to the very serious crime, a first-degree robbery, and that's what we have here. I'd like to thank the members of the public that responded to the videos that were put out there by the police that helped them identify the two people involved. Plank County Commonwealth's Attorney Rick Bartley said the injuries suffered by the clerk do not appear to be lasting injuries. A man and a woman have been accused of child sex trafficking in Mingo County according to a federal indictment that was unsealed Thursday. Misty Dawn Bateson and David Wayne Young have been charged with child sex trafficking, coercion, or enticement of a female, sexual exploitation of children, and activities related to child pornography. The indictment lists two victims in the case, one who was under 18 at the time the activities allegedly took place and one who was under 14. The indictments accused Bateson and Young of knowingly enticing, providing, advertising, patronizing, and soliciting commercial sex acts with those minors. All of the crimes allegedly took place in March and April of this year at Del Barton. A former Johnson County 9-1-1 dispatcher was arrested for sex crimes. Thirty-year-old Michael Hamilton of Tudor Key was arrested early Thursday morning after being indicted by a grand jury on counts of prohibited use of an electronic communication system to procure or promote the use of a minor regarding sexual offenses and possession of matter which portrayed a sexual performance by a minor. According to deputies, the indictment is a result of a year-long investigation after receiving a complaint regarding a 15-year-old female. A West Virginia caregiver is facing charges after she allegedly beat an elderly blind man. West Virginia state police were called to a home in the Omar community of Logan County after a report of the man being assaulted. Troopers say the man had lacerations and bruises on his face and a large amount of blood coming from his nose and his mouth. He said 45-year-old Tina Hatfield came into his home and said any quotes would not live to see tomorrow, then started hitting him with some sort of object. The man was transported to Logan Regional Medical Center for treatment. State police searched the man's property and found Hatfield hiding in the cab of a truck. She is charged with malicious abuse of an incapacitated adult by a caregiver resulting in bodily injury, malicious assault in fleeing on foot and is currently being held in the Southwestern Regional Jail.

I'm Chief Meteorologist Slatham Hopkins with a look back at your weekend weather. And it has been a summer-like week across the region. Each day, a little more in the way of heat and humidity. We started the week at 82 degrees, waking up Monday morning with temperatures in the upper 50s. Sunny skies, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, look at the temperatures. All the way to 87 degrees. We broke a record Tuesday, tied a record on Wednesday. Then we had a front approach and things started to change a little bit. A little more in the way of showers and thunderstorms on Thursday. And then by Friday, plenty of showers and storms leading to a lot of problems with flooding across parts of eastern Kentucky and western West Virginia. And here's why. Anywhere you see the yellow, that is at least one inch of rain, then you can see some of the reds and the orange showing up. That's two to three inches of rain. And if you look closely here in central parts of Pike County, three to four inches of rain just Friday morning alone. We're going here a little closer and give you a better idea of how much rain some folks picked up. And it looks like the bullseye was right near Stone and McVeigh picking up more than four inches of rain Friday morning. That is your look back in the weather, Sean, back to you. All right, thanks, Lathan. Friday's heavy rainfall brought with it some water related problems, including problems for some who now have to leave their homes in Pikeville. I was actually in the house and I just heard stuff falling and I just ran outside to see and was like, oh, there's a slide and then came back out here and the pops was all clogged up and I got flooded again. Everything is going on the bottom, washer, dryer, computer, toys, TVs, everything. With this past week being National Police Week, Pikeville came to a stop Tuesday for a pair of ceremonies to pay tribute to those in blue, gray and brown, as well as to honor those comrades who have fallen in the line of duty. This year's event took on a special significance as a grateful community said thank you to officers for maintaining security during last month's white supremacist and anti-fascist demonstrations. EKB News reporter Shelby Steele has a look. The Pikeville Police Department hosted the third annual officer appreciation ceremony today at the East Kentucky Expo Center in Pikeville. The Pikeville Police Department was joined by Kentucky State Police, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, the Pike County Sheriff's Office, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, local officials and state officials. We do what we do because of our community and we are afforded the liberty to do what we do by our community. They play a huge role in the decisions that we make. They also play a huge role in how we police. Organizers say events like this provide an opportunity for each department to come together as one. You see some of the signs that were decorated on Main Street that were put up by not only the businesses, the city of Pikeville. One of those signs says to some this is a thin blue line, to others it's a family crest because truly we are one family. Immediately following the officer appreciation ceremony, the Pikeville Police Department hosted a fallen officer memorial at the Pike County Fallen Officers Memorial Statue just outside the Pike County Courthouse. Loved ones as well as community members were able to lay roses by the statue in honor of those who have given their lives. It lets us all know that our heroes are not forgotten. I lost mine a long time ago. And that's why it's so important to come back to things like this and especially in our hometown where he worked to know that the guys that come through here and do that job every day like he did. Remember, remember him and his sacrifices and all of the men who have lost their lives and their sacrifices that they made. The ceremony is hosted each year during National Police Week. Reporting in Pikeville, I'm Shelby Still for EKB News. When school starts back in Pike County this fall, the nurses who have been there for the past decade will be absent. EKB News reporter Chris Anderson has the details. For the past decade, the Pike County Health Department has provided nurses for each of the Pike County School District's schools, but no more. Last week, the school district informed the health department they would not be renewing the contract for the school nurses, citing budget concerns for the 2017-18 school year. As for the nurses that worked in those schools, they lost their jobs. We were heartbroken, devastated when we heard the news. We've had this program over 10 years and love the program. It's wonderful for the kids, the students, it's wonderful for the teachers, the principals. I think everybody benefits from the program and it was just devastating when we heard the news. Over the past couple of years, the Pike County School District has contributed $350,000 annually toward the school nurse program. Superintendent Reid Atkins said the district was no longer able to do so. After discussion with several other districts and the models they used to provide health care and the schools to their students, I feel there's an opportunity to maximize taxpayers' dollars while still meeting the health care needs of our students. We expected that they might have to reduce the contribution, but we didn't expect this to happen. We understand the situation we're in because, like you said, we're all, you know, everybody's feeling it. So we understand the situation we're in and it's just unfortunate. It's unfortunate for everybody. There still remains, however, some hope that there will be nurses in the schools when classes resume in August. We realize the importance of this program and we'll have a program in our schools for the students by the time they return in the fall. And we do have several other health care providers that have serious interest in our nursing program. Superintendent Reid Atkins declined to name those interested in possibly picking up where the contract with the health department left off. The Pike County Health Department said the situation would not affect the school nurses in the Pikeville Independent School System. In Pikeville, Chris Anderson, EKB News. Coming up, Makayla Colley will be in with sports on this week. Hi, I'm Michelle Hague, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Pikeville Medical Center.

Join me Memorial Day Monday, May 29th at 6 and 10 for One on One with John Rosenberg. Kids from around the region continue to make their last-minute decisions on where they will go next in their athletic careers. On Tuesday, the University of Pikeville baseball teams roster continues to grow as Shelby Valley's Seth Bailey made his decision to attend the University of Pikeville in front of friends and family. Seth signed his letter of intent to play for the Bears, who closed this past season with a record of 27 and 24, winning the most games since 2001. We caught up with Seth Bailey and Shelby Valley baseball coach Jordan Compton following the signing. Teachers are excellent. They treat me good since the first day I've been here and I love this place. Coach and staff for sure and especially how far they went this season. That really, really impressed me. Well, it's very awesome, especially for me. Oh well, anytime that you get a kid signed to play college baseball it's great for the kid, the young man. It's great for his family, it's great for the school, it's great for our young kids to be able to see, you know, you work hard, it will pay off in the long run. On Wednesday, South Floyd's Bladeslone also made his commitment to play baseball for the U-Pike Bears next season as he made it official from WJ Turnerfield in Drift, Kentucky. He says he's excited for this next opportunity. And history was made at Belfrey High School this past Thursday for the first time ever. Two Belfrey High School students picked up a victory in the state tennis tournament. Nick McNamee and Wilson Harris won the first round of the boys' doubles tournament in Lexington, advancing to the round of 32 before falling to Henry Clay. After committing, decommitting and recommitting, Jaron Williams has finally made his decision on officially becoming a Wildcat under head coach Mark Stoop. The ESPN 300 quarterback committed early to Kentucky but back on April 24th, Williams decommitted after receiving an offer from Alabama. Williams tweeted earlier in the week that the relationships that he had with the Kentucky coaches were something that stood out and helped him make his decision. Saying the relationships and the trust that I have built with the coaching staff, players and all the support from the fan base is all too important. Kentucky now has three ESPN 300 commits, a quarterback, a defensive end and an offensive lineman. It was a big weekend sports this week and of course we'll have more for you next week. Back to you, Shawn. Alright, thanks, Micaela. Coming up, we shine a spotlight on the newest member of the Kentucky Opera in this week's Mountain Music Feature. We'll be right back on This Week.

During this week we shine a light on part of that musical tradition. So now sit back, relax, and enjoy our mountain music. It's time now for Mountain Music. Being brought to you by the Mountain Arts Center. The main stage of the country music hyena. Way down in the south in the West Virginia hills. You'll find my home where my house was built. Where I'd go out just to run and play. Most every day. And up on gospel with bluegrass roots. I guess you could say that I'm partial to. That good old country sound. Feels like home. This is country to me. I walk through time. Being one of the newest members of Billie Jean Osburn's Kentucky Opry. Rachel says she's excited for the upcoming season. I'm very excited. I've heard the show is going to be great. And there's a lot more new things going to come. And so to be a part of that for the very first time is going to be so amazing. And the Mountain Arts Center is just a great place to be. And a great community to be a part of. Sometimes inspiration for a good song comes from the classics. Country and I just wrote it because I feel like country music and the traditional country music is fading. So I just wanted to bring back the country music feel, the classic and what it's all about to me. Sometimes life can change in the blink of an eye. That is certainly true for the subject of tonight's installment of Get to Know. But even more remarkable than the accident which nearly cost him his life is the way he responded to it became an inspiration for others. Tonight we get to know Joey Collins. Get to Know is brought to you by Dr. Tiffany Todd Duncan, DMD. Located on Mall Road in South Williamson. Sometimes life can be hard. But when dealing with losing a limb, it can be a lot tougher. However, one Floyd County man doesn't let that obstacle bring him down. For him, he says it makes him stronger. They had given me a list of things I'll never do. Which that list became goes that I'm going to basically do. Twenty years ago, Joey Collins lost his arm to severe shock while working for Unisign Corporation in Pikeville. At one point, doctors didn't know if he would live. While Joey was recovering, doctors gave him a list of things he would never be able to do. Walking, driving, riding a motorcycle, and shooting a firearm were all included on the list. Joey, however, never let that slow him down. And then about a year after the accident, I purposely got a truck that was a five-speed on the floor and drove it to the house. Just to show them that I could do it and that I will do it. Driving wasn't the only thing Joey marked off his bucket list. He was able to do everything doctors said he couldn't, except for one thing. Tie my shoes. Joey credits his mom for his recovery and being alive today. To think about it, twenty years, those doctors, which is ironic that his name happens to be John Hunt said that I would not live that first week. And my mom stood on the word of God and told them where there's life, there's hope. She, I believe, is the one that literally prayed me right out of death. Now Joey can even shoot a bow and arrow, which is one of his favorite things to do. He says a lot of people are inspired by his sport. I tried with a mouth tab at first where you hold this thing in your mouth and push the bow out. And I didn't like it. And started doing some searching on YouTube for videos. And one of my buddies on there had a video where he had lost his hand. But the apparatus he was using, I thought maybe I could incorporate that. A documentary was created inspired by Joey. You can watch on YouTube through High Voltage Archery. Reporting in Floyd County, I'm Shelby Still for EKB News.
