ROCKCASTLE CO., Ky. (WKYT) - The man who police say was responsible for a violent home invasion earlier this year has been arrested.

Woodrow Lamb, 44, was accused of entering a home and shooting a man in February.

Kentucky State Police said he served prison time in the past for shooting a police officer.

KSP announced Lamb’s arrest Tuesday in a news release. He was found in Rockcastle County. Troopers found him in the woods behind a home off US 25 in Mount Vernon, out past the Rockcastle River Trading Post.

He faces several charges, including robbery, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, burglary and assault.

Lamb was taken to the Rockcastle County Detention Center.
