A Somerset man accused of shooting his girlfriend, then taking her to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital before fleeing to Illinois pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Tuesday. Sonny L. Powell, 48, has been charged with Attempted Murder (Domestic Violence) for a case in which the victim, Natosha Robinson, 44, may have been shot as many as 12 times. Powell was indicted on the Attempted Murder charge last week by a Pulaski County Grand Jury. During Powell's Pulaski County Circuit Court appearance, his attorney, Robert Norfleet, entered the not guilty plea on his behalf and asked for a reduction in bond.
