Man arrested after alleged strangulation; barricaded inside home

A domestic incident in Elizabethtown resulted in a brief standoff with police yesterday morning. The Elizabethtown Police Department was called to Walgreens on North Dixie Avenue by a female victim, who claimed her boyfriend, David Corbit, had strangled her prior to the call. She had been able to escape from him long enough to call the police.

Corbit eventually surrendered without incident. Corbit is charged with strangulation, and is lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center.

Local E’town man remembers Eddie Van Halen in wake of his passing

With the death of legendary rock star Eddie Van Halen this week, one Elizabethtown man is looking back on the guitarist’s legacy. Kevin Thomas, a lifelong fan of Van Halen, has amassed quite the collection of memorabilia, from guitars and amps all the way down to magazines.

Thomas even got to meet the man himself during a pre-concert event at Freedom Hall several years back. Eddie Van Halen died this week from throat cancer at the age of 65.
