A Leitchfield man who was held at gunpoint by an ex-cop following an alleged drunk driving rampage has been indicted in Grayson Circuit Court for crimes he is accused of committing during this and another incident.
Troy Joseph Toms, 34, of Ambassador Shores Drive in Leitchfield, was indicted on charges of rape in the first degree, seven counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree, two counts of assault in the second degree, two counts of criminal mischief in the third degree, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol/drugs, and being a persistent felony offender in the first degree.
On December 17, 2012, Grayson County Sheriff’s Office responded to emergency calls at Ralph’s Market, on Annetta Road. According to eye-witnesses and available evidence, Toms is accused of having begun his escapade by running over the Annetta Fire Department sign as he turned from Dickeys Mill Road onto Annetta Road.
Next, according to a December interview with GCSO’s Deputy Buck Meredith, Toms pulled into Ralph’s Market, striking the gas pumps. Both the sign and pumps were “destroyed,” Meredith said.
After damaging the pumps, witnesses said that Toms got into a verbal altercation with three juveniles in the parking lot of Ralph’s. Recent court documents state that Toms allegedly approached two individuals at this time “with a lighter and paper towel, threatening to light the paper towel and throw it on the broken gas pumps.”
“One of the juveniles got back into his own vehicle and tried to move it,” Meredith said, “Toms got back into the car and struck his vehicle at least three times.”
It was at this point, according to Meredith, that Toms left Ralph’s Market and travelled along Annetta Road, where he ran a vehicle belonging to ex-police officer John Vincent off of the roadway.
After maneuvering out of the ditch, Vincent turned into the parking lot of Ralph’s to check on his children, and reported that he saw Toms’ vehicle enter the parking lot moments later.
Vincent said that Toms then rammed into his vehicle “so hard he broke the wheel off my front axle.”
At this point, Vincent removed a handgun from his glove box and crawled out the window of his vehicle. He held Toms at gunpoint until an officer arrived to arrest him.
In a separate case, court documents allege that on or about June 15, 2012 – six months prior to the incident at Ralph’s Market - Toms engaged in forced sexual intercourse with an unnamed victim. Further details on these charges are not currently available.
Toms is currently being housed in the Grayson County Detention Center, and is being held on a $50,000 bond.
