Maysville police investigate stabbing [Archive]

Barely 14 hours into 2007, a stabbing incident led the Maysville Police Department into its first investigation of the new year.

Shortly after 2:30 p.m., police and Maysville Mason County EMS were called to 730 Lexington Street, in River City Trailer Court, lot 18, for a reported stabbing.

Police reported finding two victims and placed "crime scene" tape around the perimeter of the lot and the grey mobile home located there.

Neighbors peeped out their doors and windows at the commotion as police made sure it was safe for rescuers to enter the residence.

According to MPD Assistant Chief Maj. Ron Rice, officers found Timothy Lewis, 22, a resident of the trailer, bleeding with a kitchen knife lodged in the upper region of his back.

His cousin, Kevin Lewis, 19, was also injured.

Because of Timothy Lewis's wound, he was placed on the gurney and taken to the ambulance while lying face down with what appeared to be a knife still protruding from his left shoulder area, another possible wound site visible on his right side and his face covered with blood. He was transported to Meadowview Regional Medical Center for treatment.

I heard it was the Old Hill City Mobile home Park, but the Ledger says that it is some other park? Am I just confused? If it is the Hill City one behind the bar where the shooting was, I am not surprised. From what I hear, until a few years ago that was a very nice place to live, but not since a new manager was put in place there, that one lets her relatives live there, and there is all kinds of problems there now, from alcohol to drugs. Wish the owners could do something to bring it back to the peaceful place it used to be. The place without all the drugs and alcohol. But I doubt it will ever be the way it was.

first off I am the manager there and it is a nice place to live you need to mind your own business. As to my family I only have one family member living here. and if you don't know what you are talking about then shut your mouth about it and if you have a problem with me then come see me don't hide behind a name online... as for the stabbing people assume we are related cause we have the same last name, well fyi I am not related to any Lewis's around here. or anywhere in Kentucky. we generally have good people living in the park, we check references and everything... sometimes people lie and then move in a start trouble then we evict for rule violations.. so please if you have a problem with me don't hide come see me....

Well I know for a fact that I hear on the BBS scanner the cops are down there all the time. WOW wish I had a nice place to live like that, where there is always some one blarrin music and fighting going on.

tiggerrgal333

January 3rd, 2007, 05:07 PM

Yes they are and it usually over petty stuff, like someones music is to loud or whatever, not for drugs and alchol, that I know of. I always try to advise my tenants to call me if there is a problem istead of calling the law. The thing is is that it is a mobile home park and people live very close together and not everyone is going to like each other. I can't help that, that is something they have to deal with.

This park has been going down hill rapidly since the previous owner and current owner started renting trailers. Ten years ago you could mention the park and most people didn't know where you were talking about. Now everyone knows, don't believe me check with the MPD. They used to never have trouble out of any of the tenants when everyone owned their own trailer. The MPD has had more calls in the last 7 years or so than there was the entire time that Butch managed the park.

I have heard recently that they know of a few drug related people living in that area and they would not recommend anyone living in that area until it is cleaned up.

Is it an owner/management issue? YES
But getting someone to admit it other than the tenants and other property owners is problem.

About a year ago a friend of mine was rented a trailer and they did not check any references at all. They never called previous landlords to see if they pay their rent on time or nothing. They never checked personal references either, none of the people that my friends put down were contacted in anyway. That alone seems like a management issue.

Someone needs to get some balls and clean up the trailer trash, before someone innocent gets hurt.

FYI
I am a former trailer owner when the park was a nice place to live.

January 3rd, 2007, 05:12 PM

I was just thinking about where someone said something about the drugs, I will say this on that I found out there where some drug trafficking and that person was evicted from the park, If I do find out about it I take the proper steps to get it out of the park.

I do always check references and I have been a manager here for about 2 years.

As for you being a previous trailer owner, since I have lived here only 3 trailers have been moved out of the park, and one person abandoned there trailer and it was so nasty and roach infested, and that person owed rent and the other person moved for personal reasons and sold the trailer and the other person was behind on rent and there was drugs, so if you lived here since I have been manager, then you must be one of the 3

Well maybe you do check references now, but you didn't on my friend.

Nobody said that I lived there when you did, you just jumped to conclusions and assumed...........and you know what they say about that.

January 3rd, 2007, 05:25 PM

well I don't know who your friend was but I have always checked references, when the new owner took over that was what he said was to be done then I have to go threw him to get the final approval. And most of the people who live here can tell you that. I am sorry for assuming it was just the way you said it.

Daphne

January 3rd, 2007, 06:02 PM

I would have to agree with PoliticallyConfused on this one. Since I have lived there lets say well over 25 years (don't want to give away my age lol) the park has went downhill bad since the owner started renting trailers.

From drug deals out my backdoor, shooting at the Elks Club toward my front door, kids playing on my property, criminals running through my yard, escaped criminals from the detention center in my yard and the park, to the stupid people driving around the road at 60mph or so and being killed in my front yard, (the lists goes on and on let me tell ya)

I think I would know what I was talking about.

It is my understanding that the rules of the trailer park hasn't changed since the 80's and there is no one enforcing these rules either by the way.

The speed limit for the park is 10mph. The only people who seem to abide by it is the ones that own their trailers, 99.9% of the renters are flying in and out everytime they come and go. Children have no yard room and they play in the road. This is just one example, I could go on.

Yes my father did an excellent job when he managed the park. But since the renting of trailers has began no one has ever been fully in charge, unless it has changed in the last couple of years, but from the activity that goes on there now it seems nothing has changed.

Yes the park used to be a nice quiet place to live, but now it is not. Maybe if you knew the way it used to be then maybe you would see.

I am not going to get into all this bickering. As a property owner surrounded by this place and living here as long as I can remember I think I would have a clue.

Changes need to be made because right now there is no control.

tiggerrgal333

January 3rd, 2007, 06:35 PM

The rules and the lease have all been revised.. we are trying to inforce and we are also trying to get speed bumps but in.. the speeding is a problem I agree, I have sent many notices about the speeding... Cause there is no yards and yes the kids only have the road to play in.

and yes the crime rate has gone up, but as you well know, I do call references and at one time you where a reference and did I not call you to find out about this person, and also talked about the trailer park?

I also agree that there are still changes that need to be made and we are making those changes. the park had gone through some major cleaning of the lots and trying to upgrade the trailers.

I mostly deal with the tenants that own their trailers, and I rent out the other ones. I get complaints and I handle them I call the owners discuss it with them and then do as I am told to do by them.

I have never had so many people hate me at one time, and that is what I get for agreeing to take over management.

As for the shooting at the elks, that was on the Elks had nothing to do with anyone from this trailer park. yes they where running through our yards. and it was very scary.

This stabbing thing will be handled to as soon as the person recovers. I want my tenants to feel safe where they live and have a nice quiet place to live but I can't control what everyone does...

I know on the level I live on is very quiet and there hasn't been a problem at all up here, the first level yes is another story, and aside from the stabbing the 2nd level, it is very quiet especially now that a certain loud vehicle is now gone...

When I get a complaint I ask the neighbors closest to the person complained about to see if there is a problem. I do what I can to keep this trailer park running smooth and I try to keep the trouble out...

I might also add that I have asked for more police patrol for here, but was told that we are private property and they won't do it... Since I have taken the position I have been threatened and someone even killed one of my cats and threw it in my pool I have had my car keyed, and several other things... as long as my kids aren't hurt then I really don't care...

I have lived here for 4 years and I like where I live.

If the rules have been revised then they are still too vague. There used to be a three strike rule and if notices have been sent on speeding then some tenants should be gone IMO.

No you did not call me, my friend asked me to call you and I did. But now you are trying to evict her based on something that you knew before she moved in because I told you and so did she. And she is a good tenant, she doesn't drink and she doesn't do drugs. But thats off topic

You calling the owners and discussing it is part of the problem. As manger you should be in charge and they go along with what you say, since you live here. What happens if the owners are out of town and something happens, then you have to wait on them to return to handle the problem. Or yet what if you are out of town and something happens.

I don't feel safe and neither do most of the trailer owners that live in here.

The first level is a problem, the second level started to quiet down when that vehicle left but now they are on the first level. The level where you live not a problem at all? Your joking right? Maybe not in the last 30 days or so but it has been, some of it has been you.

I am not trying to ruffle your feathers but you know I am right. I know you are trying but sometimes trying ain't enough.

tiggerrgal333

January 3rd, 2007, 07:48 PM

I never said I was perfect and Yes the law has been called to my house a couple times...

As for you calling me I didn't have your number and had the tenant to call you to have you call me cause she didn't have your number on her or something I can't really remember that far back.

I do handle things but I do also always inform the owners of what is going on around here, and the noise and all that they are aware of it, and we are trying to get to the bottom of it. I have even been down there without anyone knowing I was there to see if it was true, of course I wasn't at the house that the complaint was on but was at the neighbors or something, and I have yet to hear it except in one mobile home. I was called at 2 in the morning and I went down there and I heard the noise... But you also have to realize that the 1rst and 2nd levels the trailers are so close together that you can probably hear the kids playing or whatever.

The 1rst level is the loudest that is where all the kids are. Yes some of them cause a little trouble, such as riding their bikes to close to cars and hitting them. Alot of it petty complaints and if I responded to every complaint then I guess I would have to evict everyone on the 1rst level...

I remember asking you if there was drug activity going on at a certain trailer on the 2nd level, cause I had heard there was, that person is gone, and yes that person still visits friends in the park, nothing I can do about that. You said you hadn't seen anything. so I couldn't do anything about it.

I hate all this bickering but I feel like I need to state my point, and you know and what a job this park is, infact I have talked to your mom several times and had even asked for advice once or twice.

I can't be everywhere at one time. But there are times when I am around and noone knows I am.

I talk to the renters and ask them if they have any problems with there neighbors they usually tell me no.. so what can I do..

I remember a few years ago that I had a rotweiler and there where complaints about my dog getting off the chain, but I never heard anything from the manager at that time about it but my neighbors where complaining so I got rid of my dog.

As for my sister living in the park, she is treated like every other tenant in the park, she knew that moving in. And today I got a complaint about her music being loud last night, and I know it wasn't anytime before 11 because I was on the phone helping with homework. after 11 I have no idea. But my sister wasn't at home at the time she was at my dads all night cause he is very sick, and we have been taking shifts taking care of him.

I do however have a life outside this trailer park.. I don't have a job other than this but my husband does. I am not here most days for several reasons I have 3 kids with having 3 kids I have dr appointments and whatever, plus I take care of my grandmother sometimes cause she has lung cancer, so I am not home except for nights mostly...

I am so sick of people judging me and making me out to be the bad guy.. I do what I can to keep the peace around here. I have evicted several people over the past 6 months, over rule violations, that is where the 3 notices come in. The rules have been updated and so have the leases. I have recently changed them, but noone who lives here know exept for one tenant has the new revised lease and rules.

Then again I am not perfect and I am human I make mistakes just like anyone else.

As for kids playing in your yard, you have never said anything to me about it.
there are no kids on the 2nd level anymore. and yes my kids have played in your yard with your kids while we where cleaning up a mobile home or mowing if you don't want them there please say something. I am sure my husband tries to keep them with him when he has them down there. I remember one day I was down there and I was getting on to my kids about playing with your kids stuff and your kids where out there to, and they where playing together.

well this is all I am going to say for now cause I have a lot to do and have to take shift with my dad tonight... I am not trying to make anyone mad or anything I have nothing against anyone, but I wish if someone had a problem with me that they would just tell me.

I probably will be deleted cause this is way off topic, but since it was brought up. Just curius, once you went down there at 2 am and heard the "noise" did you knock on their door and ask them to turn it down?

tiggerrgal333

January 3rd, 2007, 09:23 PM

No I didn't, the reason was because like I said before that the trailers are so close together that it is easy to hear your neighbor especially if you don't have anything on in your own trailer, Had it of been so loud that it could be heard by the neighbors 3 doors down then yes I would have knocked on the door and ask them to to please turn it down that is was bothering other neighbors

My friend did not want to give you my number without my approval first, so she said she didn't have it, I do remember.

I know the person you are trying to evict over something petty, is not the one causing the trouble that you think. But that is off topic once again.

I don't need the details of your everyday life, didn't ask, didn't question it.

I have only spoke to you once and that was for a reference, guess you don't remember again.

As for kids playing in my yard, I didn't say they were yours, you just assumed again. When I see kids playing in my yard I take care of it. That is what a property owner does.

I mean it is my my mortgage, property tax and insurance. Last time I checked, oh wait I don't have too, I don't have to report to you.

Those who know me, know I have no reason to say anything other than what I know. Maybe if you took the time to get to know someone then maybe you wouldn't have to rely on hearsay to know someone.

I will not continue this conversation with you. You seem like the type to always get the last word, so have it. I will be the bigger person here and walk away.

I am not evicting that person, and if it hadn't been deleted then you would know that it was just a notice...
yes and when we spoke we talked for a very long time about a little of everything. I never said you had to report to me...

Those who know me, know I have no reason to say anything other than what I know. Maybe if you took the time to get to know someone then maybe you wouldn't have to rely on hearsay to know someone.
that is exactly what I was trying to say. I have no problem with you or have no reason to not like you. You have never done anything to me and I hope I haven't offended you in anyway. I was being judged from the very beginning by people who don't even know me, so of course I am going to be offensive...

From the stories that your mom had told me before I thought that you of all people would know how much stress I am under with this Job here, and trying to also live my own life outside of here.

That is very true...... if I owned property and a trailer there I think I might be upset at the decline in my property value. I almost moved there, as soon as some friends heard that I was thinking about moving there, they did everything to stop me. Telling me how bad things are there. Boy am I glad I didn't move there. (BTW this was before the stabbing and the shooting)

I too am done here for now.

I moved here because I thought it was a better place to raise my kids. but I was wrong, with small towns come more trouble than the big city.

Called the police and said there would be no extra patrol due to it being private property? That's laughable. Mitsubishi, That Green Tokia place, Night Moves, and several other places have extra patrol and they are private property. It's the parking laws that can't always be enforced and that's it. Your park is in Maysville? I drive through it.

Besides I have a vested interest in that place. 4 of my good friends live there. And until I started driving up through there 8 or 9 times a night, they didn't start having noise complaints. Funny huh?

Matter of fact, I was there twice when the police was called to their place. Both times was for loud music, both times we were having family night with the kids watching a movie. And it wasn't loud. Did the boys come up? Yeah.. They sat out side and listened and then told us it was a BS complaint, and left. Just as they should.

I think you should be looking harder at the problem then just from one renter's misguided complaints. The one complaining on my friend does no like me very well. Matter of fact they hate the police. What better way to keep the police from coming up there then to get the policemen's friends evicted?

I tried my best to stay out of this. But when you started saying the police weren't up there patrolling. Well again, it's laughable. Ask anyone who lives up there. They see us all the time. Some want to, other's don't. The ones that don't complain on the one's that do so they can get them evicted.

Simple huh?

Speaking of trash...instead of taking their trash to the curb, they let it pile up beside or behind their trailer. Regardless of how hard working they are or aren't, that's trashy.

Rule #6 Nuisance: anything considered so by the neighbors, such as obnoxious odors, loud music, ugly site, storage or debris, etc...

So how many times do I have to complain about this, before something is done?

George Clooney was giving an interview once and was asked why he gets involved in so many different things, like directing. Clooney said: "I don't go in my trailer. Also, you know, I'm from Kentucky, we try and stay out of trailers."

George Clooney doesn't contribute anything to Kentucky other than bad mouthing both during interviews so I would leave him out of the discussion.

So Tiggerral you have admitted your the manager. You've admitted that you sneak around, which from the sounds of it, could be dangerous.

But by stating several times that you check references and then discuss them with the owners, wouldn't that make you partially liable? I guess I would watch what I say if I were you, just my .02 cents.

Maybe you need to take one of the classes that teaches you how to read body language so then you would know when someone is lying to you.

Glad I got out of there is all I can say.

Just need to correct you Chuck on your earlier post......I think you meant you bought a warrrrrrrsher not a washer! You do live in Ky, right?

BTW.... I have a house for sale with no neighbors within a half a mile. Any takers? LOL

I have to say from about 1997 to 2002 I took my kids to that trailer park every day for child care and it wasn't such a bad place. A few problems here and there, but not bad. What happened? Sounds like things have gone downhill.

But really, there are problems in a lot of neighborhoods that didn't used to have these problems. Drug use is out of control and with it comes crime of all kinds, and no neighborhood is exempt from it. I see it in the neighborhood that I grew up in. Never any trouble here when I was a kid but now I have talked to some of Maysville's finest about houses they watch regularly for drug crimes.

So sad, but this is what the world is coming to. We need to take back our streets!

January 4th, 2007, 06:54 PM

well sometimes a person can come in and seem like a very nice person or whatever and then they do nothing but cause trouble, but I have to go about things legally. I am only human and I have rented lots of trailers and not all of them had been bad, one person had excellent references and then it turned out they where running drugs those people are gone, the where evicted. some people aren't what they seem to be I understand that.

I moved back here 6 years ago, I was born and raised here and in 8 yrs things changed so much, while I was gone friends and family would call me and tell me things about how much this little town had changed. In the 6 years I have been back home, I have seen so much bs and this town is so full of drama,wonder if it is because the only thing to do is go to walmart or the bar, Yes I agree we should take back our streets, yea when i was a teenager it was cool to cruise K-mart parking lot and get drunk and drugged up doing it. Maybe Maysville needs a place for kids to go to have a little fun besides the skating rinks, or if us adults had other options to have some fun.. geeze and we all wonder why more alcoholics live around here, there is nothing else to do around here.

I would love to know how we are supose to take back our streets when the cops wont listen to what you have to say????? I have talked to several cops about a drug problem right next door and nothing gets done. They tell me well get the lic. plate #....sorry did that and still didnt get results and I really dont think that should be my job. I know Im not going to shield my children from drugs they are everywhere but that doesnt mean they have to live right next door either....

exactly well said, I have called them numerous times about drug activity that I seen with my own eyes and they did nothing, because they didn't see it. a while back they where suppose to be watching a few trailers for drug activity and they still did nothing, there is no doubt there are good officers out there, but I think they need to pay more attention to what we have to say. Drugs is one thing that is way out of control around here, a woman selling to kids at st. pats, (or however you spell it)

I know Im not going to shield my children from drugs they are everywhere but that doesnt mean they have to live right next door either....

All this talk about it is confusing. If ya didn't stab the guy then why all the chatter and defensive comments? You don't own the trailer park so I don't why your so defensive about it.

If you are concerned about how well you run the place go back to the way Butch Rosser ran the place. Use his rules and guidelines. He only ran the place for 30 years without much trouble.

Other than that your taking responsibility for something you didn't do and don't own.

I am just very shook up about it, and I allowed this person to move in, what if those 2 guys had gotton the wrong house, you know what I am saying?? I liked living here untill recently, I am not trying to be defensive, and I know I don't own this place but it is my resposibilty to take care of it, but how can I do my job if people don't tell me what is going on. I honestly think that at this point we should start doing complete back ground checks, but it is costly and would probably cause the rent to go up again.

All I know is that if it doesn't concern me I don't care, like it was said earlier, random acts of violence are what scare me. If this guy is a victim, I hope that he is not made homeless for an act of violence that was not his fault, if he was doing something illegal when this happened, then yeah he should go. I obey the rules, I abide by my lease, and all I want is to live. I for one am a nice person, and give lots of chances. Heck, I rearranged my living room so that my TV is on the other side of the house to peacify my neighbors. I am tired of the harassment I endure for nothing. If I was in the wrong I would accept responsibility. I know the cops come here, because they will come to my home at 10:30 at night when my kids are in bed, and I am getting around for bed and say that there was a loud Rap music complaint on me, well I am in my room watching TV and not listening to any music, I listen to Country music not Rap, so that would equal harassment. Not by the police, they are just responding to a complaint call, that is their job, harassment by the ones complaining, that is a false report and it needs to stop.
People where I live are upset because there is now more police presence, I am glad that they are here, no one can deal their drugs from the street my kids play in.
I know there are/were drugs here, because shortly after we moved into our house, there were knocks 24/7 on our door looking for the other tenants, gee wonder what they were looking for at 2,3,4 in the morning???? Tells me a lot about the ones that were here before me.

I know it was hard getting them out of that trailer because of who his dad is. it took us forever but we suceeded, I reported to the mpd about the drug activity even called them one day when I had seen it with my own eyes. and nothing was done about it.

Why would the guy that was stabbed be homeless?

I know you have a neighbor who complains on you, but if you feel they are harrassing you then why don't you complain about it, or even press charges on them.

A couple summers ago we where in our back yard playing softball with the kids and where yelling run run run or hit the ball you know being excited and someone called the law on us 3 times in a hour saying we where up here beating our kids and yelling at them, I don't know who it was that called on us all I know is it was someone on the 2nd level. I finally got tired of the police being called on me that I had then talk to my kids so they would know for sure that we where just outside on a hot summer day playing a game as a family and having fun.

Cause I am a nice person, that is why I gave them clothes and a bike. I am not vindictive nor mean. I want no malice towards anyone, and if they are that bored and need that drama, then I feel as though I should not bring more on them, but I am a human and I can only take so much....though I have been advised to do that.... alas, now you all see my dirty laundry..... LOL... now to put it in the dryer and be done with it.... enough being off topic..

Good day to you all.

I've been watching this thread since it arose and I for one thought it was about the stabbing not about bashing neighbors. I am very well aware that there are people on this board who live there. 2 of which I consider good friends and have wonderful families. I don't know about the rest of you but I've heard just about enough of the he said she said drama. Yes we live in a small town that is rapidly growing and there will be drama. IMO this is the perfect setting for a Soap Opera. Come on enough is enough. The cops do their very best to patrol our entire city, which might I add is growing not shrinking making their jobs even harder. So with that being said I'm going to bed because no matter how you look at things tomorrow is a new day.

I just talked to the guy who was stabbed, he is home from the hospital, and he told me that 2 guys came in and acted like his friends and that he didn't personally know them but had seen them around before, said they asked him if he could score drugs, he said that he didn't fool with drugs and they told him that they where here for something else anyway and hit him with a bottle and stabbed him said his nose was broke and about 20 stitches in his shoulder where he was stabbed. He just advised me that he was moving out of the park this weekend.

If it is so stressful then give it up. If the law has been called on you, as you yourself stated, then you are not setting a good example. And it is your job to get rid of those that are actually causing problems, not those that you are "told by rumors" that are causing problems. And as for the person that was evicted and still going to visit tenants at the park, and it is private property you can have them removed.
Sounds to me like this place went from a Trailer PARK to Trailer Trash.

I noticed by reading everyone's statement there is so much rude comments or sarcastic feedback toward the tenant but has anyone took the moment and noticed that the people who live in the trailer park are adults with children or adults without children.. I feel that people need to take a look in the mirror and maybe point the fingers at there self before they automatically blame it on the tenant. It sure is not like she knew those young boys was going to be stabbed on that night. I am not a manager of a trailer park or a apartment complex but i put this I see the ignorance in adults and how childish they act by running over stupid and silly things that could have been taking care of on there own. I live in a apartment and I personally do not care what goes on outside my door, and once my door is open I pay more attention to my children the ignorance of adults...
Think about it the children that do foolish things did not give birth to them self and they do not become legal adults until 18 so the question is ' Who is the blame and fault of the children?
I watched my tenant cry, get angry, get yelled at, get spit and get grabbed by her hair, over the silly things that go on... there is no way that i will place my self in her shoes or even attempt to for the simple fact is her job is so hard and rough.. she does what her corporate tells her to do and nothing else.. is she did what each person asked her to do the whole will become a complete train wreck and then again will be fingers pointing toward her.

Did you mean the tenant or the manager, dang that post is confusing. I mean no offense, as I think I get what you are trying to say.

A manager, must understand that this is a business and you can't please everyone. You must learn when to step in and when to let things work themselves out.
And I was confused about that post too Foxy.
