Deputies in Laurel County say they’ve found the ankle monitor a hit-and-run suspect was wearing when he escaped house arrest three days ago, and now have evidence that he’s no longer in Kentucky.
Investigators continue searching for 47-year-old Terry Mullins who is accused of running over 17-year-old, R.J. Warren in early September as the teen was riding his bicycle on U.S. 25 toward his home.
According to the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office, Mullins was driving drunk when he hit the teen and took off, leaving the 17-year-old victim in a ditch off U.S. 25 near KY-2392.

Warren was badly hurt, though he is now out of the hospital and says he is doing better.
When deputies found the suspect two miles from the scene, they say the teen’s back pack was still stuck in the grill of Mullins’ van.
Mullins was on home incarceration and investigators say he went on the run around 3 p.m Friday. Yhey believe he took off on foot.
“On Saturday morning, we found his ankle bracelet in downtown Corbin. And we’ve checked with his acquaintances. They’ve told us they believe he could be somewhere in Ohio, unknown as to exactly where,” said deputy Gilbert Acciardo.
He described as being about 5-foot-9 tall, weighing about 150 pounds, and has a prosthetic left leg.
Investigators say it’s possible that Mullins could be under the influence of alcohol. If you have any information, contact the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.
