Leitchfield woman formally charged with placing children in danger by driving vehicle into porch, assault & resisting arrest

A Leitchfield woman has been formally charged with driving a vehicle into a front porch placing multiple children in danger, assaulting a male and resisting arrest.

As K105 previously reported, on September 19 at approximately 6:00 p.m., the Leitchfield Police Department was dispatched to a domestic disturbance on Central Avenue involving 37-year-old Kayla J. Breeding.

Upon arriving at the scene, police found a male victim “bleeding from the chin with a large hole, all the way to the bone,” according to the arrest citation. The victim also displayed cuts and scratches on his face.

Breeding “was on the porch shouting and when she stood up, she threw two fishing reels” toward the victim. She was instructed by law enforcement to stop but Breeding failed to do so. As officers attempted to take her into custody, she resisted but was eventually placed into handcuffs.

According to the citation, “The porch steps were nearly destroyed and blood was visible on the porch. A support post was also considerably damaged.”

Further investigation showed that Breeding had driven a vehicle into the porch, and in doing so, injured the male victim.

Multiple witnesses, the citation states, told officers that Breeding had struck the victim “multiple times” before driving the vehicle into the porch.

Officers noted that five children were either in the house or on the porch when Breeding crashed the vehicle into the porch.

Breeding, while being questioned, admitted to police that she had ingested multiple drugs, including hydrocodone, gabapentin and a THC cart, according to the arrest citation.

During a search of the vehicle, police found multiple gabapentin pills and clonazepam.

Breeding was given a field sobriety test and arrested. She was charged with second-degree assault, fourth-degree assault (domestic violence), DUI (aggravating circumstances), six counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, resisting arrest, and prescription controlled substance not in its proper container.

The suspect was indicted by a Grayson County Grand Jury on all the charges except for the DUI (aggravating circumstances) count.

She was lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center but is no longer listed as an inmate.
