Knox deputy responds to drug complaint, makes burglary arrests

Four people are facing burglary charges in Knox County after Knox County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a complaint of drug use at the residence.

Christina J. Wilder, 22, of Corbin, Lora S. Youngblood, 25, of Williamsburg, William M. Mitchell, 25, of Corbin and Shelby R. Hubbs, 24, of Corbin were each charged with one count of third-degree burglary.

According to Sheriff Mike Smith, deputies were called to the residence on Ky. 1629 near Marvel Road about 8:20 p.m. last Tuesday.

When Deputy Andrew Lawson arrived, he reportedly saw three individuals flee to a nearby residence on Marvel Road.

“When Deputy Lawson contacted the owner of that residence, she stated that these people had no right to be in her residence,” Smith stated.

Deputy Lawson entered the residence and found the three individuals hiding in the attic.

In addition to the burglary charge, Hubbs was also served with a bench warrant out of Laurel County for failure to appear on a shoplifting charge.

Youngblood, Mitchell and Hubbs were all lodged in the Knox County Detention Center.
