A Midway man faces a charge of first-degree assault on his wife, who is in critical but stable condition at the University of Kentucky hospital, according to Assistant Versailles Police Chief Rob Young.
Doug McDaniel, 31, was apprehended in Floyd County, Indiana, around 2:30 or 3 p.m. Sunday, about six hours after his wife, Katy McDaniel, 29, called 911 from their home in the 200 block of West Higgins Street, Young said.
"It was pretty quick," Young said of the apprehension. "We really got lucky." He wouldn't give details of it, or the crime, other than to say the Floyd County Sheriff's Office got "a report of a suspicious individual at a gas station."
Kenneth Doug McDaniel, who goes by his middle name, was lodged in the Floyd County Jail in New Albany. He awaits extradition to Woodford County, where County Attorney Alan George has prepared a warrant changing him with assault.
The main definition of first-degree assault is one causing serious physical injury by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument. It is punishable by 10 to 20 years in prison.
The incident left many in Midway, a town with little violent crime, shaking their heads. As he opened the City Council meeting with the usual moment of silent reflection Monday evening, Mayor Grayson Vandegrift said, "Keep all people suffering from domestic violence in your thoughts, too. You know who I'm referring to."
