A Clinton County man involved in a standoff, eventual manhunt and shots being fired at law enforcement officers during an incident that occurred in mid-February of this year has been indicted on a multitude of charges and indictment counts by a Clinton County Grand Jury.
During last month’s regular session of the grand jury’s convening, the body handed down at least 33 total counts, involving at least seven different felony charges against Bobby Fulton, 45, who was involved in the two-day manhunt which involved the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office, Kentucky State Police, and other area law enforcement agencies.
Fulton was indicted by the grand jury on charges of wanton endangerment first degree (six counts) when defendant “wantonly engaged in conducted which created a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury…” which involved members of law enforcement, including deputies, the sheriff and state police troopers.
The defendant was also indicted on a single count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon (two charges); two counts of fleeing or evading police first degree; five counts of criminal attempt to commit assault first degree; resisting arrest (a Class A Misdemeanor); terroristic threatening 2nd degree (two counts); and a host of 2nd degree persistent felony offender charges in relation to the alleged offenses mentioned.
The offense of criminal attempt to commit assault is a Class B Felony and wanton endangerment first degree is a Class C Felony.
The alleged offenses occurred on or about February 15 and 16, 2026, according to the true bills returned in open circuit court. Clinton County Sheriff Ricky Marcum gave testimony to the grand jury in the case.
Reports at the time of the incident allege the suspect had “fired a couple of shots prior to officers arriving on scene,” of an apparent initial domestic dispute call.
During a brief foot pursuit of the suspect, Fulton apparently fired several shots at law enforcement officers before escaping on foot, leading to a manhunt over the two-day period.
Sheriff Marcum noted in a press release at the time that the suspect was found on Monday, February 16, around dark by Cumberland County deputies who had also been assisting in the manhunt.
Officers from the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office also were involved in the pursuit.
