The Hopkins County Grand Jury has issued indictments in wanton endangerment and domestic assault cases involving residents from Dawson Springs and Marion.
A true bill was returned on Ray Shearon of Dawson Springs on first-degree strangulation, third-degree terroristic threatening, two counts of fourth-degree assault and two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.
The charges follow a Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office investigation into a domestic violence incident on Racetrack Road in Dawson Springs on September 30th, 2025, when deputies reported Shearon assaulted his wife, pushed her down, and strangled her until she lost consciousness.
The grand jury indicted Christopher McKay of Marion on two counts of violating an emergency protection order, fourth-degree assault, second-degree criminal mischief, first-degree persistent felony offender, first-degree wanton endangerment, and first-degree unlawful imprisonment.
The charges against McKay are related to an incident around January 21, 2025, investigated by Madisonville Police and the Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office.
