Corbin Police arrested Melissa M. Summers, 43, of Corbin, and Adam R. Alloway, 37, of London, on charges of attempted murder. Summers and Alloway are accused of shooting Seth Pennington in the head with a .357 pistol outside Pennington\u2019s apartment on Adkins Street early Sunday morning. According to the criminal complaint filed in Whitley District Court, Summers told Corbin Police Lt. Coy Wilson that the couple, along with Pennington and Ryan Crook, had been out together in downtown Corbin, leaving when the bars closed. \u201cMelissa said while in the car Seth (Pennington) took the seatbelt and choked Adam (Alloway) for no reason,\u201d Wilson wrote in the in the complaint. \u201cAt this time Adam pulled out a pocket knife and tried to cut the seatbelt, cutting her (Summer\u2019s) hand and Seth in the face.\u201d However, according to Summers, the fight ended and Alloway drove to Pennington\u2019s home and dropped him off. \u201cMelissa (Summers) said she went inside the apt. with Seth,\u201d Wilson stated. \u201cAt this time Seth got mad and came outside with a gun and fired a shot as they were leaving the residence.\u201d According to Wilson, Summers said that after leaving Seth Pennington\u2019s, the trio drove to Andrew Pennington\u2019s house, and then to Alloway\u2019s apartment in London. \u201cOfficers recovered surveillance video from Owens auto showing Adam and Melissa\u2019s car leaving a second time from the direction of Seth\u2019s apt. at a high rate of speed around the time of the 911 call came in reporting that Seth Pennington had been shot,\u201d Wilson wrote in the complaint. Police were called to the scene of the shooting at approximately 2 a.m. on Sunday. Seth Pennington was airlifted to the University of Tennessee Medical Center where he is being treated for his injury. Wilson said an argument had ensued and, at some point in the argument, Seth Pennington was shot. \u201cWe found evidence that they were arguing over a cell phone,\u201d Wilson said. Corbin Police, with the assistance of U.S Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Special Agents Todd Tremaine and Glenn Taylor, Jr, recovered the weapon. \u201cWe did not recover a weapon from Pennington\u2019s house, or a bullet from the scene that he had reportedly fired,\u201d Wilson said. Summers and Alloway were arrested at 1:20 a.m. on Monday and lodged in the Whitley County Detention Center. Corbin Police Officers Estes Rhodes and Mike Taylor initially responded to the 911 call."}
