An Owen County woman has been arrested by Kentucky State Police troopers from Post 5 after she attempted to shoot her father.  Heather Hammond, 35 years old from Glencoe, was arrested Thursday afternoon by Trooper Dave Roberts, according to Trooper Brad Arterburn, Post 5 Public Information Officer.

Preliminary investigation shows that Heather Hammond, who is the daughter of Owen County Sheriff Zemer Hammond, pointed a loaded weapon at her father while at his home in Corinth, on October 5. When she attempted to shoot, the weapon jammed and did not fire.

It’s no surprise to people who know me that I am not a fancy Nancy.

I’m not plain, and I am (I hope) feminine, but I’m definitely not lacy, doily, flowery foo-foo.

I’m so not a princess.

That said, I’m constantly getting invited to women’s events that border on the fancy. This past weekend, I was with a group of women at a nearby Victorian hotel, which has fancy in its very structure.
