Overview
- Louisville police say 34-year-old Jarvis Garrett was arrested in Lexington on a public intoxication charge and was served with murder and weapons charges while held in custody.
- The weapons count alleges possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, indicating prosecutors say Garrett has a prior felony record.
- Authorities link the charges to a 2024 homicide in the Newburg area that police described as occurring near the 5000 block of E. Indian Trail at Newburg Park.
- Garrett remained in custody and WDRB reported he is being held on a $100,000 bond with an arraignment scheduled for later this month.
- Officials have released few details as the probe continues, and the victim’s family says the charge brings a chance for justice after the 2024 killing.
