A MAN WAS LEFT UNCONSCIOUS AFTER A HOME BREAK-IN IN LETCHER COUNTY

On Monday morning, two people broke into a home in the Cowan community of Letcher County, Kentucky. Scott Day was at home sleeping on the couch when he heard the sound of breaking glass of the front door, and by the time he raised up he was hit with a hammer and was left for dead. The suspects took Day's phone, but when he woke up, he was able to call 911 with his landline phone. The police arrived at the house at around 9 a.m., and Day was taken to a local hospital before being transported to the UK Medical Center and he has had surgery on his eye and is believed to be OK. Police are still searching for what was stolen at the house, but they do know that they took an AR-15 rifle and Day's cellphone. The Kentucky State Police are asking anyone in the community to contact them if they have any information that would help police by calling Post 13 at 606-435-6069.
