Sheriff Bobby Jones reports that on August 20, 2023, at approximately 3:48 PM,
Deputies with the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office responded to an injury accident on
East Highway 80 and Squib Ano Road in Eastern Pulaski County involving a motorcycle
and a Mazda car.

Preliminary investigation revealed that a Mazda Passenger Car and the motorcycle
were traveling east on KY 80 near the intersection of KY 80, the Old London Road (KY
1956), and Squib-Ano Road when the motorcycle, with two persons on it, made a turn
to the left. At this time, the Mazda, driven by Ashley D. Tucker, age 22, of Hopkinsville,
Kentucky struck the motorcycle. Preliminary investigation appears to be that the
motorcycle turned to the left in front of the Mazda to turn onto Old London Road. The
passenger on the motorcycle was later pronounced deceased by the Pulaski County
Coroner’s Office. The operator of the motorcycle was flown to the University of
Kentucky Hospital with serious injuries. The Sheriff's Office does not know his condition
as of this press release. As of this writing, the names of the persons on the motorcycle

Deputy Logan Crabtree, Deputy Ryan Jones, and the Coroner’s Office continue the
investigation.

Other responding agencies consisted of the Somerset/Pulaski EMS, Air Methods, and
the Shopville Fire Department.

A single vehicle accident on Caney Fork Rd led to the arrest of a local resident for driving under the influence last week.

Casey County Sheriff's Deputy Jake Atwood responded to the scene Tuesday after receiving a report of the accident.

Upon arrival, Deputy Atwood found Kenny Webb outside of the vehicle, speaking with Deputy Tyler Luttrell. Webb informed the deputies that the driver, identified as 24 year old Tara K Duncan, of Mannsville, had left the scene with another individual to seek help. However, Duncan never returned to the accident scene.

She was later located at a residence on KY-49. Further observations raised suspicion of possible drug use, as Deputy Atwood detected an odor of marijuana emanating from Duncan and noticed that she exhibited heavy eyes and struggled to keep them open. Duncan admitted to having smoked marijuana earlier that day.

Deputy Atwood transported her back to the accident scene. In transit, Duncan stated that she had been the one driving the vehicle during the crash.

She was evaluated by Casey County EMS but refused treatment. Duncan failed field sobriety tests.
Furthermore, a marijuana cigarette was found in Duncan's back pocket.

She was charged with Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Failure to Render Aid/Assistance), DUI (substance), & Possession of Marijuana.

Casey County Sheriff Chad Weddle gave his department's monthly report...

A Liberty woman has filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging that she was unlawfully arrested, subjected to an unconstitutional strip search, and the victim of excessive force, assault and battery by city and county officials and police officers in Casey County.

Kumsook "Kim" Huff, was originally charged last August with driving while under the influence. However, all charges against her were dismissed in Casey District Court earlier this year after results from a blood test taken upon her arrest were reportedly negative for drugs and alcohol.

The lawsuit names as defendants the Sheriff and Jailer of Casey County, the City of Liberty, the County of Casey, and several city police officers, deputy sheriffs, and deputy jailers.

The lawsuit alleges nine separate claims, plus a claim for punitive damages, against all defendants.
Huff is seeking compensatory & punitive damages, and attorney's fees.

In addition to the lawsuit, Huff has also filed a complaint with the Kentucky Department of Public Safety's Office of Professional Standards. The complaint is still under investigation.

A lawsuit represents only one side of a legal dispute.
 

Austin Lee Gladd, 26, of Russell Springs, Ky., was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison on Friday, by Chief U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves, after previously pleading guilty to production of child pornography.

According to Gladd’s guilty plea agreement, he admitted to using social media to entice a minor victim to engage in sexually explicit conduct; to traveling to Danville, Ky., where the victim was located, to engage in sexual intercourse with the minor victim; and to capturing multiple videos of the sexual encounter with his smartphone.   

Gladd pleaded guilty in April 2023.

Under federal law, Gladd must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence.  Upon his release from prison, Gladd will be required to register as a sex offender and will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for life.

Carlton S. Shier, IV, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; Jodi Cohen, Special Agent, FBI, Louisville Field Office; and Chief Tony Gray of the Danville Police Department jointly announced the sentence.

The investigation was conducted by the FBI and the Danville Police Department.  The United States was represented by Assistant United States Attorney Mary Melton. 

The U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted this case as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet as well as to identify and rescue victims.

As the school year approaches, shoebox packers are making use of back-to-school prices to purchase gifts and essential items for children in need around the world. Residents in Liberty?? are collecting school supplies, along with personal care items and fun toys, to pack in shoeboxes.

Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, will deliver these gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 100 countries. For many children, access to these simple items is essential to an education. This was the case for Justin Thomas, a shoebox recipient in Southeast Asia whose parents could not afford the supplies needed for school.  Thomas remembers the specific day he received a gift-filled shoebox from Operation Christmas Child and found it filled with toys and most exciting to him—school supplies!

Growing up with hand-me-down clothes and used items, Thomas used to write with a pencil so short that he held it using a pen cap. Having an entire packet of new pencils and a pencil sharpener all his own was a treasure to him. This simple gift made a life-changing impact for Thomas because it opened the doors for him to receive an education.

For more information, visit samaritanspurse.org/occ. National Collection Week is Nov. 13-20. Participants can donate $10 per shoebox gift online through “Follow Your Box” and receive a tracking label to discover its destination. Those who prefer the convenience of online shopping can browse samaritanspurse.org/buildonline to select gifts matched to a child’s specific age and gender, then finish packing the virtual shoebox by adding a photo and personal note of encouragement.

Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse, seeks to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world and, together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 209 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 170 countries and territories. This year, Operation Christmas Child will celebrate its 30th year of ministry!

A Casey County man was arrested on Saturday after he was caught on video attempting to steal a catalytic converter from a church van.

44 year old Christopher J. Elkins, of Liberty, was seen on surveillance footage walking up to the van at Dunnville Baptist Church on Saturday. Elkins was wearing camouflage pants, a long-sleeved shirt, a hat, and a mask. He laid on the ground under the van for a brief moment before walking away.

A neighbor who lives near the church also had surveillance footage of Elkins' vehicle. The footage showed Elkins' car driving away from the church heading south on US 127.

Dispatch notified Russell County law enforcement to be on the lookout for Elkins' vehicle. A short time later, Russell County Sheriff's deputies located Elkins' vehicle at the Dollar General store on US 127.

Deputies made contact with Elkins and asked him what he was doing at the church. Elkins initially said he was looking for water, but then admitted that he had intended on cutting off the catalytic converter from the van. Elkins said that his conscience got the best of him and he decided not to steal the converter.

Elkins was arrested and charged with attempted theft by unlawful taking (over $500), and possession of burglary tools. He was transported to the Casey County Jail.

Casey County Deputies Jake Atwood, Tyler Luttrell, & Austin Harris investigated.

In an effort to protect those who protect us, Kentuckians are urged to slow down and move over if safely possible when passing emergency vehicles.

“Every day on our roadways, emergency responders and public safety personnel put their lives at risk to protect the citizens of the commonwealth, and it’s important to do what we can go to support them in return,” said Gov. Andy Beshear, who has made all aspects of highway safety a top administration priority. “Please slow down and move over to help keep these dedicated heroes safe as they work to protect the lives of Kentuckians.”

To raise awareness, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is joining the Kentucky State Police (KSP) and AAA to promote the “Slow Down and Move Over” message through Aug. 15.

“Our goal is to create a safe and equitable transportation system for all Kentuckians, including our first responders.” said Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray. “While some drivers may believe that moving over is just a courtesy, it is not – it’s the law.”

Kentucky passed its Move Over law in 2003 requiring motorists to move over to the adjacent lane when approaching an emergency vehicle or public safety vehicle with flashing lights (KRS 189.930). If changing lanes is impossible or unsafe, motorists must slow down and use caution. Failure to do so can result in fines, jail time or both (KRS 189.993 (8)).

The law protects all first responders, including law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, safety service patrols and towing vehicles.

“Imagine trying to do your job as vehicles fly past you at alarming speeds,” said KSP Captain Paul Blanton. “Think about it the next time you see those flashing lights ahead.”

Unfortunately, first responders are killed every year by drivers who fail to move over. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, 149 law enforcement officers – just one category of first responder – have been killed in traffic-related incidents since 2017.

“We’re used to working in dangerous situations; however, our risk increases when a vehicle speeds past us,” said Capt. Blanton. “Giving first responders the space we need allows us to perform our job safely and effectively.”

Emergency personnel can only do so much to keep themselves safe on the side of the road. The rest of the responsibility falls on other motorists.

“Stay alert, slow down and move over,” said Lori Weaver Hawkins, Public Affairs Manager, AAA Blue Grass. “Those are three simple?yet critical?actions that will save lives. It’s not only the right thing to do, it’s the law.”

All 50 states have enacted “Move Over” laws. The first was South Carolina in 1996. Hawaii became the 50th and final in 2012.

Republican gubernatorial candidate, Daniel Cameron made a campaign stop in Liberty on Tuesday...

A Casey County woman was arrested on Friday after she was pulled over for driving without insurance and was found to be under the influence of drugs.

Luttrell agreed to perform a field sobriety test, however, she became irate and refused to follow the instructions. Officers determined that Luttrell was under the influence.
