An 18-year-old, who was arrested last month and charged with murder in Meade County will have his case sent to a grand jury, according to authorities.
Tyler Petty is accused of killing 65 year-old Cris Blehar, whose body was found May 21 inside a home on Woodland Road in the Flaherty area.
In a preliminary probable cause hearing Wednesday in Meade District Court, it was determined there was enough evidence for the case to be presented to a grand jury which will determine if the case should proceed to circuit court.
Petty has been charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence and is being held in the Meade County Detention Center under a $250,000 cash bond.
The grand jury is scheduled to convene Monday (06/14) in Meade County.
