The 3rd annual Beacons of Light celebration for Elizabethtown Community and Technical College takes place later this week. Organizers say the event, which will honor several inductees this year, highlights local black excellence in the community.

College Director of Cultural Diversity Jerisia Lamons says plans are in place to also honor individuals who passed away in the past year, including Bro. Jimmy Curl and former Radcliff councilwoman Tanya Seabrooks. The event premieres Friday at 7 pm on the college’s YouTube and Facebook page.

An Elizabethtown woman was arrested for an alleged assault after police tracked her down by following a trail of blood. According to arrest records, police responded to Woodcreek Drive in Radcliff following a physical altercation, tracking down the victim near Elmwood Drive, where they observed severe cuts and lacerations to her left arm, thumb, and neck. The victim informed officers she knew where the incident took place but wasn’t familiar with the suspect. Police followed a trail of blood and located the suspect, Carissa Nelson. Nelson stated she had been in a physical altercation, suggesting that jewelry had caused the deep injuries to the victim, not a weapon. Nelson was arrested and charged with assault 2nd degree. She was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center.
