SCUDDY, Ky. (LEX 18) — A Perry County woman faces federal charges after investigators say she fired at law enforcement officers while they were serving a warrant at her home on Wednesday.

Online records detailed that 30-year-old Ashley Begley is charged with four counts of attempting murder of federal law enforcement officer and one count of discharging a firearm during a violent crime. She is being held at the Laurel County Detention Center.

The incident occurred in Scuddy when Perry County deputies and DEA agents served a warrant on 41-year-old Clint Begley, for possession of fentanyl. After his arrest, investigators say Ashley came out of the house and allegedly fired a shot that hit a vehicle containing four agents.

No injuries were reported in the incident.
