Kentucky woman accused of strangling high school football player during game
Police said the player was evaluated for injuries after the alleged attack, and Barrett was charged with second-degree strangulation and jailed.
- On Tuesday, Kentucky State Police arrested 36-year-old Kayla Barrett and charged her with Strangulation 2nd Degree after she allegedly attacked a Wayne County football player during an October 30 game.
- Midway through the third quarter of the Wayne County versus North Laurel game, spectators flooded the field after players became tangled near the sideline with the North Laurel Jaguars leading 21-12.
- According to the arrest warrant, Barrett "ran toward the action," where she allegedly grabbed the minor by the neck and "violently shook him by the neck in an attempt to obstruct his airway."
- Following the assault, the player required evaluation at the Wayne County Hospital, while a judge ordered Barrett to stay away from all school sporting events in the commonwealth upon her release on bond.
- Officials ultimately called the game a no contest, awarding the win to the North Laurel Jaguars, as the Monticello Police Department emphasized that high school athletics should be a safe environment.
