Prominent businessman and dairy owner and his step son to be arraigned at 9:00am CT, today, in Adair District Court; he's charged with breaking leg of Joey Burris in incident; two others involved in incident are to be arraigned later on lesser assault charges

There are no cases scheduled for Adair Circuit Court this morning, but District Court has a fairly heavy schedule with 88 cases on the docket for today, including two which have generated a great deal of excitement in Southern Adair County. These cases are the 2nd Degree Assault Charges against Brian Murley, prominent Breeding dairy farmer and co-owner of Hwy 61 Country Mart at Breeding, and his son-in-law, Edward Jay Wilson of Independence Road, near Breeding.

The two are scheduled to be arraigned at 9:00am CT this morning in Adair District Court.


The two case grew out of a incident at the Hwy 61 Country Mart, caught on video surveillance, in which Joey Burris, of Dirigo Road in Breeding, "did donuts," in the the store's parking lot.

(Donuts are executed by turning the steering wheel to a hard right or left, then opening power feed to maximum, causing the vehicle to spin in a circle, most often leaving a donut shaped imprint on the pavement.)

The complaint signed by Joey Burris against Brian Murley read, "got into a fight on affiant's property. Brian got affiant down and Jay Wilson hit him on the head. Broke leg when he fell from Brian tackling him." KSP Trooper Gibbs of Kentucky State Police Post 15, Columbia, KY, arrested Murley at the store. Murley was released on a $5,000 property bond and was ordered to have no contact with Joey Burris or his property.

The complaint against Edward J. "Jay" Wilson, 815 Independence Road, Breeding, KY,. signed by Joey Burris, says, "got into a fight on property of affiant. Brian Murley tackled affiant, knocking him to the ground, broke leg of affiant, then Jay Wilson hit affiant in the back of affiant's head, causing injury. Brian came to help him." Wilson turned himself in, and was also arrested by Trooper Gibbs. Wilson, former Kentucky State Trooper was ordered to have no contact .

Counter complaints filed against Burris and Birkett

Counter complaints were filed against Burris and Jason Birkett, Burris' neighbor who came to his defense as the fight was in progress. Edward J. Wilson's complaint against Birkett read, "hit affiant in the face 2 times as affiant was attempting to get Joe Burris off his dad." Birkett was arrested on a 4th degree assault charge and released on a $500 cash bond, under the condition that he have no contact with Murley or Wilson.

The complaint against Joey Burris by Brian Murley read, "hit affiant around his ear on the side of face after defendant stated 'get out of the truck'. The affiant was talking to defendant about spinning and doing donuts on business parking lot at Hwy 61 Country Mart. Also hit affiant in the left eye and then parties fought." Joey Burris turned himself in and was released on a $500 cash bond. He faces an assault, 4th degree charge.

Burris has worn an artificial limb since losing a foot in a four-wheeler accident a few years ago.
