A Morgantown woman wanted for shooting a man in Ohio County has been arrested by the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office and Leitchfield Police Department.
The investigation into the location of 29-year-old Chasity D. Clopton led Grayson County Deputies Erik Franklin and Caleb Owens, and Leitchfield Police Department Detective Kevin Smith and Officer DJ Newton, to a location in Grayson County early Tuesday morning.
Once arriving at the residence, police found and arrested Clopton.
She was initially lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center but has since been transferred to the Christian County Detention Center. She is being held on a probation violation.
