A Maysville man faces several felony charges after he allegedly broke into another Maysville resident’s home and threatened to kill the resident and his roommate.

According to district court documents, Brad Albert Davis, 25, has been charged with three felony counts of first-degree burglary, kidnapping and first-degree attempted robbery following a January 12 incident in Maysville.

Court records show that around 11 p.m. on Thursday, January 12, Maysville Officer Randy Minyard was dispatched to the 200 block of 7th Street on a report of an individual being robbed at the residence.

Davis, according to the reports, had entered the residence of Kenneth Penick through the back door and demanded money from Penick.

In Minyard’s report, Davis told Penick to write him a check for $300 to $400 so he could get to Texas.

Penick advised Davis at the time he was on a fixed income and he didn’t have that much money.

That’s when Davis went to another room of the house where Penick’s roommate, Jeanette Bacon, was and started asking them where their gun was.

Davis began rummaging through the room and found Penick’s .22 caliber semi-automatic handgun and began threatening to kill both Penick and Bacon.

Davis then took Penick by gunpoint to the ATM location at First American Bank to force him to use his ATM card to get cash.

In the meantime, the Maysville Police were notified of the incident and were dispatched to Penick’s home.

Minyard said the dispatcher told him the pair was at the bank’s ATM and that Davis possibly was armed.

Upon arriving at the bank, Minyard reported he didn’t see anyone and was advised by the dispatcher that Davis and Penick were on foot.

Shortly Minyard noticed two individuals walking south in the 600 block of Doc Huey. As he got closer to the pair, one of the individuals, who later turned out to be Davis, began walking into the back yard of the residence at the corner of 7th and Doc Huey.

In an attempt to catch up with Davis, Minyard drove his patrol unit through the back yard.

Davis began to elude Minyard on foot but was knocked down by a clothesline. As he got up Minyard reported noticing it was Davis, who then ran from Minyard.

Minyard pursued Davis on foot for a while and then returned to his unit to continue the search.

Minyard stated in his report he obtained a black hoodie Davis was wearing from the driveway of a nearby house and inside the garment was an ATM card with Penick’s name on it.

Maysville Police Chief Adam McMillen joined Minyard in the search for Davis, but could not locate him.

Minutes later Minyard was advised the resident at the corner of 7th and Doc Huey had discovered a gun in his backyard. The gun turned out to be Penick’s.

After retrieving the gun, Minyard went to Penick’s residence to get his statement. While doing so, Minyard was advised of someone trying to break into another residence across town.

As he arrived at the second residence, he was told of someone hiding under a trailer house just east of where the attempted break in had occurred.

Minyard, McMillen and other officers went to the location where Minyard identified Davis, who was hiding the front seat of a pickup with a bloody nose.

Minyard drew his gun and ordered Davis to get out of the vehicle and get on the ground.

Davis refused and after several commands Minyard and the other officers physically placed Davis on the ground.

Davis, according to Minyard, continued to resist more until they were able to place him in handcuffs and placed in McMillen’s patrol car to be transported to the Garvin County Jail.

Davis also faces one misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled dangerous substance after a Xanax pill fell from his pocket.
