Joshua Mark Taylor

A week after a man was brought to a Hopkinsville hospital with a gunshot wound, police said the incident happened during an alleged burglary and arrested the man.

The Logan County Sheriff’s Department said a man was brought to Jennie Stuart Medical Center at 2:23 a.m. Aug. 1 with a gunshot wound. The man reported having been shot at a party in the Fairview area in Todd County.

An investigation by the Todd County Sheriff’s Office and Kentucky State Police determined the shooting actually occurred in Logan County, the Logan County Sheriff’s Department said.

On Monday, Logan County deputies arrested Joshua Mark Taylor, 35, of Russellville, in connection with a reported burglary.

The Logan County sheriff’s office said Taylor broke into a residence Aug. 1 on Deerlick Road, at which time the homeowner opened fire on him.

Taylor was being held in Logan County Detention Center on charges of first-degree burglary, fourth-degree assault and second-degree criminal mischief.

The sheriff’s office is attempting to locate William Michael Rice of Elkton, who is also believed to have been involved in the incident.

Anyone with information on Rice’s whereabouts can contact the sheriff’s office at 270-726-2244.
