Before classes got underway last Thursday morning at Elkhorn City Elementary School, students and faculty found themselves in a lockdown situation. Elkhorn City Police Chief Bobby Sexton says law enforcement was called after 50-year-old Melissa Cantrell allegedly assaulted a female instructional aide at the school. She became violent, had a verbal confrontation, which became physical, grabbed the employee by the neck, leaving marks, threatening to kill her. Cantrell had left the school when police arrived and initial attempts to locate her were unsuccessful. Chief Sexton obtained arrest warrants, but Cantrell alluded law enforcement until Sunday night when troopers responded to a call at her residence. Around 10.30, Sunday night, Kentucky State Police responded to a welfare check of her residence in which when they ran her information, the warrant was verified for Miss Cantrell. They made an arrest. Melissa Cantrell is charged with third degree assault and second degree terroristic threatening both class D felonies, punishable by one to five years in prison. Any other circumstances, had it been on private property or something, it would have been criminal complaint or misdemeanor charges. But because of the situation and the location this happened on and specifically what we're dealing with now with the whole school system and the threats, it just booted the charges up to felony charges. So it was a terrible decision on her part. Cantrell was released Monday afternoon after posting a $1,000 full cash bond. A preliminary hearing has been set for March 15th at 1pm.
