PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Pikeville man was arrested on a number of charges, following a robbery at a home on Cedar Hills.

It happened just after 1 a.m. Saturday. Police responded to a caller who reported that a man broke into her home while her 16-year-old autistic son was the only one at home.

The man, who police say is 30-year-old Travis Fields, entered the home and told the son he needed a gun because people were trying to kill him. Fields then allegedly grabbed the mother’s purse and pushed the son when asked why he was taking it.

The man proceeded through the house, taking a phone, some jewelry, $50 in cash and three bottles of Mountain Dew before leaving as the mother came home.

He was found by police nearby and arrested, but he did not have any of the stolen items.

Fields now faces robbery and other charges.
