Michael Tramble |
Michael Tramble, 44, of Burna allegedly assaulted Stephanie Cowan, 26, with his hands. Police do not think a weapon was involved in the assault, but Cowan was so severely injured that she was flown from Livingston Hospital to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville.
The alleged assault took place at Tramble's home at 875 Mitchell Road in Burna. Authorities were notified by another woman at the residence that Cowan was being assaulted. When an officer arrived, Michael Tramble's father, 73-year-old Roy Tramble allegedly caused problems for the Livingston County Deputy. Therefore, Roy Tramble was charged with a misdemeanor.
Michael Tramble had to be subdued with a Tazer, according to the police report. In addition to the assault charge, which is a Class B felony punishable by 10-20 years in prison, Tramble also was charged with resisting arrest and menacing.
The victim remains in serious condition at the Evansville hospital.
Both Trambles were taken to the McCracken County Jail.
Livingston County Sheriff Bobby Davidson said Michael Tramble has a criminal history which includes assault.
