The Knox County Sheriff’s Office says deputies arrested a woman this week after a man woke up in the ICU and identified her as one of the people who robbed and attacked him. Officials say the man was found unresponsive in a ditch off KY 1809 in early morning hours of March 12th. The man was taken to the Barbourville ARH, where he woke up in the ICU three days later. A deputy interviewed the man, who said a woman and several men assaulted and robbed him at his home. The deputy then went to the victim’s home and found 40 year old Rebecca Smith, the female attacker, inside. There were several small bags of marijuana and a scale as well. Smith was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, drug trafficking and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was also wanted for failing to appear on charges of terroristic threatening and menacing.
