According to the McCracken County District Court Clerk, 44-year-old Alexander appeared before a judge for a preliminary hearing. The judge bound the case over to a grand jury, and his arraignment is scheduled for July 16 at 8:30 a.m. His bond amount remains at $150,000.
Alexander was arrested on May 25 after a standoff with police that began at 7:30 a.m. on Buckner Lane. Paducah Police officers say Alexander had threatened his sister with a shotgun and knife, and held her against her will for approximately two hours. He also reportedly threatened his sister's boyfriend, and endangered his 19-year-old nephew, who was asleep in the basement. At 5:30 p.m. officers entered the home and arrested him without incident.
He is being charged with kidnapping, first-degree wanton endangerment, and two counts of third-degree terroristic threatening.
