GLASGOW — Anthony Barbour returned to court Monday for arraignment after his case was heard by a grand jury.

Barbour, 25, of Summer Shade, made his first appearance Friday in Barren District Court, and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for next week. 

Soon after that first appearance, though, the case against Barbour, who had been sought by police for several days in connection with the disappearance of a toddler, was presented before a grand jury. Barbour was indicted Friday on charges of kidnapping (of an adult), first-degree burglary and resisting arrest.

He was in Barren Circuit Court on Monday with his attorney, Ken Garrett of Glasgow.

Garrett entered a not guilty plea on Barbour’s behalf and filed a motion for a bill of particulars.

In criminal cases, a bill of particulars is a formal statement of charges that details the facts supporting each criminal count. This document can be provided by the prosecution at the demand of a defendant.

“It’s difficult to ascertain what the facts are unless you have all the evidence,” Garrett said after the arraignment. “We are patiently awaiting the production of evidence. … There is going to be a tremendous amount of evidence that will be provided.”

Barren Circuit Judge Phil Patton set a $1 million cash bond for Barbour, who was brought into court separately from the other Barren County Corrections Center inmates on Monday’s docket.

Police sought Barbour for nearly a week after receiving a call from 279 E. Temple Hill Road in Monroe County on May 19 about 2-year-old Laynee Wallace, who had gone missing.

Laynee had been missing since May 17 but was not reported missing until two days later, according to Kentucky State Police, who initially said Laynee was believed to be with Barbour.

Laynee’s body was found May 25 in a well in the Nobob community, close to where she was reported missing. Police found the well about an hour after Barbour was apprehended by police.

Garrett said it has been a trying time for everybody connected to the case, including Barbour’s family and Laynee’s surviving relatives.

“This is a loss, no matter which way you look at it,” Garrett said.

Asked whether he believed Barbour could receive a fair trial in Barren County, Garrett said state law permits a defendant to request a change of venue if circumstances, such as pretrial publicity, warrant it.

Barbour is accused of breaking into the 440 Temple Hill Road home of Brenda Woods about 1 p.m. May 25. 

Barbour’s arrest citation said he waited for Woods to leave, entered the home with a .22-caliber rifle and waited for her to return. When Woods arrived, Barbour forced her to drive him to an unknown location, according to the citation.

Woods stopped briefly on Temple Hill Road. A state police detective saw Woods stop and pulled Woods’ truck over at 1:16 p.m. May 25 on Tompkinsville Road at Temple Hill Fire Department outside Glasgow, according to KSP.

Barbour started to get out of the truck after it stopped, and a takedown technique was used during his arrest, which led to Barbour striking the ground and injuring his right eye, according to the citation.

Barbour was initially taken into custody on a warrant charging him with custodial interference and served with two outstanding warrants for cold checks.

Results from an autopsy performed last week at the state medical examiner’s office in Louisville have not been released.

Barbour is next scheduled to appear in court on July 6.
