A Bowling Green man accused with another person of taking part in an attack on a locksmith saw his case sent to a grand jury on Wednesday.

Adrian Cannon, 24, appeared in Warren District Court for a preliminary hearing in a case in which he is charged with first-degree robbery.

Cannon and a second person, Anthony Young, are alleged to have hit the locksmith multiple times after the man was called to an address on Sheppard Court on Feb. 27.

Young remains at large after the Bowling Green Police Department obtained an arrest warrant for him.

During Wednesday’s preliminary hearing, BGPD Detective Victoria Connor testified that the alleged victim in the incident reported that he was called by someone who asked him to come to Sheppard Court to make a key for a vehicle.

When the locksmith arrived, a white man approached and demanded certain items from his truck and took a pack of cigarettes from the truck, Connor said.

When the locksmith got out of the vehicle, what the man described as a light-skinned Black male showed up and began punching him repeatedly, the detective said.

“The white male then pulled a gun from his waistband and struck (the locksmith) in the face with it,” Connor said Wednesday.

Answering questions from Warren County Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Haley Stahl, Connor said a woman walking with a small child nearby witnessed the incident and screamed, which prompted the two assailants to run in the direction of Double Springs.

Through speaking with witnesses and investigating the locksmith’s phone activity, police went to a McDivit Court apartment where Cannon had been staying and were given consent to search it.

Connor said police found a pack of cigarettes in the bedroom lying on top of a wallet containing Young’s identification, along with a handgun in the closet that was covered up by some clothes.

Property belonging to the locksmith and some clothes matching the description of what the robbers wore was found at the apartment as well, police records show.

A woman living in the apartment reported that Young and Cannon had been in the apartment earlier that day and she believed she heard them make a phone call, the detective said.

Police obtained dashboard camera footage from the locksmith’s truck that shows the white man walking up to the vehicle when it arrived at Sheppard Court, and then the same man and a Black man can be seen running from the area, Connor said.

Warren District Judge Kim Geoghegan bound Cannon’s case over to the grand jury and declined a request from his attorney, Dennie Hardin, to modify the $10,000 cash bond keeping Cannon in Warren County Regional Jail.
