Magoffin County, Ky.–The Magoffin County Sheriff’s Department received a call Saturday from someone saying they had shot a burglar.
The caller gave only his name and no address. Deputies went to a residence on Left Fork of Lick Branch Road after the location of the cell phone used for the call was discovered, with the assistance of Kentucky State Police.
As officers arrived 49-year old Wes Lykins of Salyersville came out of the home with his right hand behind his back and refused to show officers his hands.
Lykins daughter then came from inside the home and told Deputies her father only had a BB gun and took it from him.
Lykins was arrested and charged with falsely reporting an incident, resisting arrest and menacing and lodged in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center.
