PULASKI AUTHORITIES ARREST WINCHESTER WOMAN IN CONNECTION WITH A KIDNAPPING/SHOOTING

 

According to Sheriff Greg Speck, on Friday, March 27, 2020 at approximately 2:15 PM,
Sheriff’s Deputies, the Somerset/Pulaski County Emergency Medical Services and the Nancy
Volunteer Fire Department responded to Brock Road in Nancy, KY regarding a gunshot victim.


The victim was located and identified as Jermaine Bennett, Jr. from Winchester, KY. Mr. 

Bennett had been shot in the leg and had zip ties around a wrist and an ankle. He was flown, by
Air Methods, to the University of Kentucky Hospital in Lexington for treatment of his injuries.
The Sheriff’s Office contacted the University of Kentucky Police Department who responded to
the hospital to contact the victim and further assist in the investigation.


Jayme Barker, age 34 of Winchester, Kentucky was quickly identified as a suspect but at the
time her whereabouts were unknown. The Sheriff’s Office contacted the Somerset Police
Department to assist with the investigation. Ms. Barker was thought to be in the Somerset city
limits at the time. The Somerset Police Department immediately responded, and two Detectives
were sent to the Sheriff’s Office to assist. Other Somerset Police officers were sent to a possible
location to see if Ms. Barker was there. She was not at that time.


The Sheriff’s Office and the Somerset Police Department, working together, located Ms. Barker
in Somerset on the following evening, March 28, 2020 at approximately 9:00 PM. She was
taken into custody and later charged with Kidnapping, Assault 1st, and Tampering with Physical
Evidence. She was lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center.


The Sheriff’s Office and the Somerset Police Department were assisted by the University of
Kentucky Police in this investigation.


This case remains under investigation by Detective Todd Wilson with the Sheriff’s Office’s
Criminal Investigation Division and Detectives with the Somerset Police Department.
