The drug test is in for the man arrested for the murder of a Louisville Metro Police Officer.

James Woods was found to have had a blood-alcohol level of .28 — more than three times the legal limit — as well as cocaine and opiates in his bloodstream when he crashed into Officer Nick Rodman on March 28, The Courier-Journal reports.

Rodman was chasing Woods after a domestic assault call when Woods hit Rodman’s cruiser head on.

A report of an attempted vehicle theft turned into some scary moments for a Georgetown resident.

Daniel Collins was arrested in March and charged with unlawful imprisonment, criminal mischief, resisting arrest and terroristic threatening after a strange series of events.

Police were dispatched to a home on Fairfax Way in response to reports of a man actively trying to steal a car from a driveway. As police arrived, a witness told officers that Collins ran into the home. Officers knocked on the door but no one responded.

The homeowner’s sister — worried for her brother’s safety — brought a key to unlock the door of the home for police. A female in the house ran to the door to tell officers that she had been held at knifepoint by the suspect who threatened to “slice her up” if she opened the door for detectives.

Police say Collins then crawled into the home’s attic causing significant damage to the ceiling. The victim told police that he also caused substantial damage to the vehicle he allegedly attempted to steal.

According to his arrest citation, Collins screamed and resisted arrest. Drugs are believed to have been a factor.

Court documents show that Fannin Automotive Family in Boyd County owes BB&T more than $17 million. According to our sister station WSAZ, that’s why the business was raided by U.S. Marshals Thursday.

According to court documents, BB&T issued a civil suit against the Fannins. The suit alleges the family owes BB&T approximately $17.8 million.

The parties involved entered into a loan agreement in August 2015 and despite an unconditional guarantee of repayment on the part of Gary Fannin, the loan is now in default.

Christopher Fannin granted BB&T first priority interest in all of his tangible personal property for the indebtedness.

BB&T sent another letter April 10, saying they were in default and declared them to pay their debt immediately or the bank would take possession of collateral defined in the loan agreement.

According to court documents, two BB&T employees went to the dealership April 11 to take possession on the collateral, which included approximately 300 vehicles and the Christopher Fannin’s personal property collateral that consisted of an extensive firearms and knife collection.

Court documents say the BB&T representatives were refused by the Fannins and threats of bodily injury were made against the representatives.

WSAZ reports that Gary Fannin allegedly told the representatives to come up to his office to talk and “he would come back in a box.”

BB&T says the Fannins breached their agreement and now they hold first priority liens on collateral. The bank is asking the court for a monetary judgment against those named for no less than $17,823,026.75 and immediate possession of the collateral.

Kentucky State Police arrested a man in connection with a Knox County missing person case Tuesday.

James Davis, 21, is accused of kidnapping Douglas “Bub” Middleton.

Police reported Middleton missing in February.

In March, someone found Middleton alive in the woods, near Noeville Hollow Rd.

Middleton was taken to Knox County ARH and then flown to University of Tennessee Medical Center. He suffered from frostbite, and doctors amputated his legs.

Police said Davis kidnapped Middleton from his house and forced him onto an ATV.

They also said Davis kept Middleton in a building in the woods for 17 days.

Joyce Calhoun, Middleton’s aunt, says he has changed since this series of events.

“Bub’s personality has changed. Now he doesn’t trust anybody. Before he was very trusting and very loving now he’s totally changed, he’s very guarded with people,” said Calhoun.

Middleton said a second person was also involved, but police have not released that man’s name and have not been able to find him.

Police say Davis admitted to playing a role in the kidnapping but claims he was just the lookout for the other man they have yet to charge.

“It’s awful. It’s a horrible situation that this young man has been kept 17 days. He’s lost both legs now and the question is why? Why would you do this?” said Shane Jacobs with Kentucky State Police.

Davis did not want to talk to us from Jail. He is set to be arraigned Monday.

Middleton’s family says he is doing well with his recovery. They say he will receive prosthetic legs and hopes to ride his bike soon.

It’s finals week for a lot of college students and many are looking for ways to get an edge. An attempt to steal an exam using a ‘Mission Impossible’ stunt ended with a felony charge for two UK students.

University of Kentucky spokesperson Jay Blanton said that it happened after midnight on Wednesday when a statistics instructor was pulling an all-nighter. When he returned to his office in the multidisciplinary science building, he found the door was barricaded by something.

“He figured out that it was someone, actually. So he yelled out that he was going to call the police, at that time the door swung open, and two young men allegedly ran out and ran away,” Blanton said.

Police say shortly after, one student, Henry Lynch, returned to talk to police and confessed to breaking into the building. He told officers that he climbed through the building’s air ducts and dropped into the teacher’s third-floor office. He says he then let another student, who he identified as Troy Kiphuth, inside.

Lynch also said it wasn’t the first time he had tried to steal and exam.

“And then also reported that earlier in the semester, he had successfully stolen an exam, and didn’t share it with others he said,” Blanton told LEX 18.

Lynch and Kiphuth are charged with felony burglary and their cases are headed to the Office of Student Conduct.

“If it comes down to me coming through an air duct, I’ll just take the F,” said UK student Royal Todd.

Hayes gained national attention back in 2015, when he went on a multi-state road trip with the girl. Police say during the trip, he was stealing cars and avoiding the police.

The couple were known as a modern day Bonnie and Clyde but were eventually caught in Florida.

Hayes already pleaded guilty on burglary and theft charges earlier this year.

In July of 2014, Greenwell allegedly corruptly attempted to obstruct, influence, and impede, a federal criminal prosecution, by informing C. M., a Bullitt County Special Deputy and the subject of state and federal criminal investigations, that his place of business was under photographic surveillance (pole camera).

On May 15, 2015, Greenwell allegedly attempted to obstruct, impede, and interfere with a duly authorized criminal investigation, disclosed to C.M., a Bullitt County Special Deputy and the subject of state and federal criminal investigations, the contents of wire communications, that were intercepted as part of the criminal investigation.

The indictment of a person by a Grand Jury is an accusation only and that person is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty

A Simpson County, Kentucky, woman was sentenced yesterday, in United States Court, by District Court Judge Greg N. Stivers, to serve 46 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $43,100 restitution, for a single count of bank robbery, announced United States Attorney John E. Kuhn, Jr.

“Every bank robbery jeopardizes the safety of bank employees and customers,” stated U.S. Attorney John Kuhn. “In this case the defendant absolutely terrorized bank employees with her threat against them and spurious hostages, including a woman and her young daughter. Although no one was physically hurt, this four year sentence is appropriate considering this defendant had robbed another bank in this same manner without any concern for the risks to innocent employees or by-standers.”

Brewer was previously convicted of robbing a bank in Panama City Beach, Florida, using a similar disguise and note. Evidence gathered from that robbery led FBI to Brewer and the Kentucky bank robbery.

Brewer remains free on bond.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David Weiser and was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

A Laurel County man faces wanton endangerment and child abuse charges for allegedly hurting a boy and not getting him medical help right away.

Brian Kinney spoke with LEX 18 from behind bars and said he never meant to hurt the child. Police say that because of Kinney’s actions, a 10-year-old child was badly burned and needed skin graphs.

http://liarcatchers.com/contact.php

Kinney said he takes responsibility for what happened but insists it was an accident.

According to an arrest citation, Kinney forced the boy to stand next to him while he lit a spark plug covered in gasoline on fire. The boy’s clothing caught fire resulting in second-degree burns on his thigh.

Police say Kinney didn’t get the boy medical help right away. Kinney says he was trying to teach the boy how to use a lawnmower.

“I was trying to fix the way my dad and grandfather taught me. I kept telling him to stand back, kept telling him to get back. My little girl was out there too and she didn’t get burned because she stayed where I told her to,” Kinney explained.

Police say Kinney also had meth on his person when he was taken into custody.
