Pulaski County Sheriff Bobby Jones reports the arrest of a Somerset man for Falsely Reporting an
Incident to Law Enforcement.

On January 28, 2024, at approximately 4:00pm, Deputy Ron Hellard was dispatched to
Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital on a report of a stabbing that had occurred near the Hwy 27
and Hwy 70 intersection in Eubank, KY. The complainant, Andrew Stringer, 21 years of age,
Somerset, KY, claimed as he was sitting on the side of Hwy 27 in Eubank, a tall skinny male
wearing a black hoodie and baseball cap came up from behind his vehicle and stabbed him in the
back.

Deputy Hellard conducted a canvas of the area, looking for the alleged suspect, or anyone
that had seen the suspect in the area. While investigating, Deputy Hellard was notified by
Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office that a male subject matching the victim’s description had been
involved in an altercation with a homeowner of Lincoln County. During the altercation, the
homeowner reportedly stabbed the subject in the back before leaving the residence. Through
further investigation with Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, it was determined Stringer had been
the perpetrator in the Lincoln County incident.

Stringer was arrested by Deputy Hellard and charged with Falsely Reporting an Incident
to Law Enforcement. He was lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center.
