A Kentucky man who told police he was “moved by the message” before stabbing his father at a church service has pleaded guilty but mentally ill.
Twenty one year-old Ethan Andrew Buckley entered the plea to a first-degree assault charge on Monday (2/6). Buckley was arrested in August 2016 after police found his father, David Buckley, with neck wounds at a Baptist church in Bowling Green. Police said Ethan Buckley told officers he’d had thoughts of killing his father and that he stabbed David Buckley with a pocket knife.
Ethan Buckley accepted an offer from prosecutors recommending a ten year prison sentence. His sentencing is scheduled March 28.
