A warrant for arrest has been issued for the Owsley County sheriff after he allegedly assaulted a girl during a fight at a high school basketball game.

KSP say they are searching for Brent Lynch, who is the elected Sheriff in Owsley County.

Last week, a fight broke out at a girls’ basketball game at Perry County Central High School. The game was played against Owsley County High School.

State Police said in a press release, “During an altercation between players during the game, it is alleged Mr. Lynch, who is also part of the coaching staff for Owsley County High School, assaulted a juvenile female.”

Lynch allegedly rushed the floor and struck a Perry County player. The warrant for Lynch’s arrest, which is for fourth degree assault, was issued Tuesday.

Officials have yet to locate Lynch.
