Yusuf Hassan indicted

By Rebecca Feldhaus

Mayfield, KY – A Graves County Grand Jury has indicted Yusuf Hassan on an attempted kidnapping of a minor charge. Police arrested Hassan, a member of the Mayfield Somali Muslim community, the same day the city zoning board denied a permit request for a downtown mosque. Hassan's lawyer, Nathan Goodrich, says the timing is "highly suspicious," and that his client is completely innocent. 23-year-old Hassan is in Graves County Jail on a $100,000 cash bond.
