On September 27, 2009 at 12:40 a.m. investigators arrested a Hebron, Kentucky man for the brutal, unprovoked attack of two men in the parking lot of The Briarwood, a reception hall/bar located in the 2100 block of Petersburg Road, which occurred some 22 hours earlier.
George Carmac III, 27 of Southgate, Kentucky was found unconscious in the parking lot by an employee on September 26, 2009 at 4:30 a.m. Carmac was taken to Saint Elizabeth Hospital (Florence) and then transferred to University Hospital where he underwent surgery for his life-threatening injuries. Carmac’s friend, Josh Lindsay, 27 of Hebron, Kentucky was also treated at University Hospital for his injuries.
Detectives who were called out on the case Saturday morning worked throughout the day and evening gathering facts. Their investigation led them back to The Briarwood where they located and arrested Joseph Pierce, 22 of Hebron, Kentucky for two (2) counts of Assault 1st degree, a class B felony punishable by 10–20 years in the state penitentiary. Pierce is lodged in the Boone County Detention Center in lieu of a $50,000 bond.
While the case is still under investigation, detectives believe Carmac and Linsday were attacked by Pierce and others as they walked out of the bar. Pierce continued to kick both men in the head after they were down.
