3 inmates accused of damaging Graves Judicial Center

Three Graves County inmates are facing new charges after reportedly causing damage to a judicial facility.

The three men, 50-year-old Clay Mathis of Melber, 21-year-old Gregory V. Wilson of Mayfield, and 25-year-old Gabriel A. Vejar of Mayfield, were all transported from Graves County Jail to the newly opened Graves County Judicial Center for court appearances on drug and theft charges. Officials said that while they were waiting, the three men used their handcuffs to scratch obscenities into the walls of the holding area.

They said Mathis also removed a door hinge pin in the holding area. Sheriff Jon Hayden said a later review of surveillance video resulted in charges of criminal mischief for Vejar and Wilson, and theft by unlawful taking for Mathis.

The estimated cost of the damage to the Judicial Center is being reviewed.
