Steven Griffin, 20, faces five counts of third degree sexual assault and one count of abduction of a child.

The Harrison County Sheriff’s Department said Griffin picked up a 14-year-old male juvenile last Saturday and took him to a home where he was staying near Anmoore.

There, deputies said they performed sexual acts on each other.

He is currently in the North Central Regional Jail, with bail set at $300,000.

Lexington Police detectives cracked the cases of several recent gas station robberies, but there is still one that remains unsolved.

The clerk in that case wasn’t hurt, but was shaken up over the incident. The man who robbed her is still on the run. She was working at the Speedway on New Circle Road on November 6, around 1:45 a.m. when she stepped out to smoke a cigarette.

That is when a white man, about 5 foot 10 inches, 250 pounds wearing a hoodie pulled up over a hat, told her he didn’t want to hurt her but that he was robbing her and he ordered her back inside.

Inside the store, he demanded that she open the register and turn over all of the cash. He implied that he had a weapon.

She said that she stayed focused and tried to do exactly what the man said.

She thought she’d hit the panic button that would call for police, but apparently she didn’t.

Ten minutes later an officer out on routine patrol happened to stop in and check on her. She told him about the crime that occurred.

If you have information to help police track down the suspect, call the Crime Stoppers tipline at (859) 253-2020. Your tip could earn you a cash reward.

EMS Officials say that a minivan with three people inside was leaving Mt. Sterling on Spencer Road when it t-boned a pickup truck at 686.

All three people in the van had to be extricated. One person was flown to UK while another was taken by ambulance, both with serious injuries.

Four other people went to Saint Joseph Hospital in Mt. Sterling with non-life threatening injuries.

“This is an area we have quite a few accidents. We’ve had a few fatalities at this location before so this is on radar as a high incident area for sure,” said Battalion Chief Mike Mosbey.

686 was temporarily shut down in both directions.

Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused the accident.

Georgetown Police are warning the public to be aware of fake $100 bills circulating around Scott County.

At least four stores were targeted by the fake bills. The Taco Bell off South Broadway fell victim to one of bills. Employees told police that a customer paid for food with a fake $100 bill, but none of them caught it until it was too late.

The fake bills have the text “for motion picture use only” written on them.

“With the eye test, there are features on here like the ink. The printing on here will change colors when you turn the bill. That can’t be reproduced and it’s not on this bill and then of course the wording, if you’re just looking at the bill without seeing that it looks like a legitimate $100 bill,” Captain Robert Swanigan told LEX 18’s Patrick Price.

Police say their message to all businesses owners is to check cash, particularly large bills.
