Prestonsburg, KY (WMDJ) — A Pikeville man is facing charges after deputies say he broke into a Floyd County home late Monday night while a woman and her three children were inside.
Deputies with the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office responded around 11 p.m. to Town Branch Road after a report of a burglary in progress. When officers arrived, they found 42-year-old Daniel Meade sitting on the bedroom floor. Another man at the home told deputies Meade had lunged at him, but he was able to restrain him until authorities got there.
Investigators said the woman had been home alone with her children when she heard noises in the kitchen. She called out and got a strange response before realizing someone was inside. She called her partner and 911 as Meade allegedly went through her kitchen cabinets and bedroom drawers while acting erratically.
Deputies said the woman couldn’t reach her children because Meade was between them. Her partner arrived shortly after and subdued Meade until officers arrived.
Meade was taken to a nearby hospital for medical clearance, then lodged in the Floyd County Detention Center on a charge of second-degree burglary. His preliminary hearing is set for October 20.
