Pulaski County Sheriff Bobby Jones reports that on Friday, January 6, 2023 a Pulaski County man was arrested pursuant to an indictment warrant issued by a Pulaski Grand Jury following an investigation by detectives with the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office’s Criminal Investigation Division.
 
On Friday, an indictment was issued for Sean O. Campbell, 48, of Science Hill, charging him with Kidnapping, Strangulation, and Persistent Felony Offender. These charges stem from a November 23, 2022 incident in which Campbell’s wife, Angela Campbell, alleged that Campbell forced her into his vehicle near their Science Hill home. She alleged that Campbell then took her to a local motel where he pushed her up against a wall and placed his hands on her neck, strangling her. Another man who was staying at the motel, who at the time was an employee of Sean Campbell, intervened and got Campbell to stop holding Ms. Campbell against the wall. Ms. Campbell was able to then flee and hid in a bathroom in a public area of the motel while she waited for a family member to pick her up. After she left the motel, Ms. Campbell went to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital's Emergency Department where she was treated for her injuries.
 
During the investigation, it was determined that Sean Campbell has an extensive criminal history consisting of at least two felony convictions. As a result, he was indicted for being a Persistent Felony Offender in the First Degree.
 
On Friday, Campbell was observed by officers on Ash Street in Ferguson and was apprehended a short time later on an adjacent street. Serving the indictment warrant on Sean Campbell was Deputy Nathan Meadows with the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office.
 

Kacy Thomas, a companion of Sean Campbell, was also arrested at the scene on an out-of-county warrant for charges unrelated to the November 23rd incident.

Deputy Meadows was assisted in the arrest by Ferguson Police Chief David Cornett and Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Officer Jason Estes.
 
Campbell is currently held in the Pulaski County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.
