UPDATE: The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office says Lucas was apprehended Monday.

The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a suspect in an alleged stabbing Saturday.

Hardin County Sheriff John Ward says Hardin County 911 received a call just before 6 p.m. on March 1 of a reported stabbing at a residence on the 18,000 block of Sonora Hardin Springs Road.

“An individual had been stabbed twice,” Ward said. “Deputies responded to the area and were able, through their investigation, to determine that Paul Lucas, who was a known acquaintance of the victim, had stabbed the victim.”

The victim was treated by West Hardin Fire and Rescue along with Hardin County EMS, and transported by helicopter to the University of Louisville Hospital.

Deputies searched the area, but Lucas has yet to be found.

“We ask anyone that has any information to please call the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office at 270-765-5133,” Ward said.

A warrant for Lucas’s arrest for First Degree Assault has been issued.
