Today, a Clay County jury returned guilty verdicts against Dewey Collett for Burglary 2nd Degree, Assault 2nd Degree, Assault 3rd Degree (2 counts), and Wanton Endangerment 2nd Degree (3 counts) arising from a violent home invasion that occurred on November 1, 2024 in Leslie County.

The jury recommended a total sentence of 29 years imprisonment.

This case was tried by Commonwealth's Attorney Haley Jo Fields, with the assistance of Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jay Fugate and Victim's Advocate Victoria Gibson. Chief Deputy Shane Wilson worked this case for the Leslie County Sheriff’s Office. We are thankful for LCSO, the responding deputies, witnesses, court personnel, and everyone who worked to ensure justice was done.

Most importantly, we hope today’s verdict brings some measure of peace to the victims and their family.

Justice matters, and violent crime will continue to be prosecuted aggressively in the 41st Judicial Circuit.

Today, I, along with many of our local law enforcement, attended the Law Enforcement Luncheon and Roundtable with FBI Director, Kash Patel, and Congressman Hal Rogers. It was such a neat experience to hear them speak about how they are working to make America safer.

Thankful for these guys, their service, and this opportunity!
