An Elizabethtown man has been formally accused of assaulting multiple healthcare workers at a Radcliff behavioral health hospital.
Timothy J. Bell, 29, was a new patient at Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health Hospital on December 12, 2025, when, after becoming upset that he was being admitted, assaulted four healthcare workers, according to a report by The News-Enterprise.
He was arrested by the Radcliff Police Department and charged with four counts of third-degree assault of a healthcare provider and violation of an EPO/DVO. In this case, the third-degree assault charge is a class D felony.
Earlier this month, Bell was indicted by a Hardin County Grand Jury on four counts of third-degree assault (healthcare provider).
He’s currently free on bond.
Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health Hospital provides multiple services for adults with mental health and/or drug dependency issues.
The inpatient psychiatric services include a variety of services to address mental and behavioral health needs, as well as chemical dependency and dual diagnosis. According to the organization, specialized in-patient services include:
- The Adults Acute Inpatient Program, which provides adults who are struggling with mental health issues and are in crisis with a program focused on stabilization and healing.
- The Chemical Dependency Inpatient Program is for adults who require supervised detox or recovery. The highly-structured program focuses on relapse prevention and daily living improvement.
Additionally, people with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders require a program that can treat both the substance use disorder and the mental health issue. The Dual Diagnosis treatment program helps adults manage and overcome the challenges of both chemical dependency and mental health disorders.
