A single car crash in Laurel County resulted in three people being flown to UK Thursday.

The driver, a 28-year-old, has been charged with a DUI charge and it is not his first, or his second.

Anthony Allen has been in jail 16 times in his 28 years.

He was 13 when he had his first run in with the law, he was found guilty on operating a moped while under the influence.

Since 2006 Allen has been charged with several more DUIs, Leaving the Scene of an Accident more than once and criminal mischief.

Allen has a total of 63 charges so far and nine more were added Thursday night.

“We cited him or charged him with DUI third offense, this is the third time we will be making a presentation in front of the grand jury on this particular case that will, we hope will raise it up to a felony,” said Gilbert Acciardo with the Laurel County Sheriff department.

Police say Allen was on meth when his white Ford Ranger went off the road and flipped at least once before landing right side up. Allen and his two female passengers were injured and flown to UK for treatment.

Allen was arrested in July for a DUI charge so Thursday night’s wreck meant that he was driving on a suspended license.

“We actually have him operating on DUI suspended license as well second offense that means he has been caught out once previously operating on a DUI suspended license and here it is a second occasion,” said Acciardo.

Barbara Merida is a friend of Allen’s family. She says that Allen has a drug problem and has been in and out of rehab and jail.

“There have been a couple of times he has come to my house all drugged up,” said Merida. “Yeah, he is out runnin’ around still drivin’, still pilled up today.”

She said that Allen left the hospital and was out driving Friday.

A former Georgia physician has admitted in federal court that he conspired with the owner of a Georgia pain clinic, and others, to unlawfully distribute thousands of prescription pills to Kentuckians. On Thursday, Michael Johnston, 58, pleaded guilty, before U.S. District Judge Amul Thapar, to conspiring to unlawfully distribute oxycodone.

Johnston agreed to serve 10 years in prison, beginning on the date of his formal sentencing. Under federal law, he must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence.

Johnston admitted that, from May 2011 until November 2011, he conspired with Joel Shumrak, the owner of a Tucker, Ga., pain clinic, and others, to illegally distribute large quantities of oxycodone and Xanax to residents of numerous Kentucky counties, including Clay, Laurel, Rockcastle, Pulaski, Floyd, Knox, Bell, Pike, Jefferson, Whitley, Madison, Montgomery, Fayette, and Magoffin counties.

Johnston further admitted that he ignored the fact that these Kentuckians were addicts and were likely selling the drugs for profit upon their return to Kentucky. Johnston, who had previously practiced as a pediatrician, acknowledged that he had no formal training or experience in prescribing adult pain medication, prior to being hired by Shumrak. According to Johnson’s plea agreement, many of the patients were seen by non-physicians, who then recommended prescriptions, allowing the clinic to increase the number of patients that could be seen in a day.

Johnson also admitted that he provided little or no physical examination to many of these patients, before providing the prescriptions; he made no referrals for surgery or other medical exams; and he was encouraged to see as many patients, per day, as possible. Court records also show that Shumrak’s clinic did not even accept medical insurance, operating on a cash-only basis.

Shumrak has also pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment earlier this year.

A federal grand jury in Covington, Kentucky, returned an indictment against one current and two former Japanese automotive executives for their alleged participation in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for the sale of automotive body sealing products sold in the United States.

The indictment, filed today in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Kentucky, charges Keiji Kyomoto, Mikio Katsumaru and Yuji Kuroda—all Japanese nationals—with conspiring to rig bids for and fix the prices of body sealing products sold to Honda Motor Company Ltd., Toyota Motor Corp. and certain of their subsidiaries and affiliates for installation in vehicles manufactured and sold in the United States and elsewhere. Automotive body sealing products consist of body-side opening seals, door-side weather-stripping, glass-run channels, trunk lids and other smaller seals, which are installed in automobiles to keep the interior dry from rain and free from wind and exterior noises.

http://liarcatchers.com/contact.php

“These executives conspired for years with their competitors to fix the prices of body sealing products sold to Honda and Toyota and installed in U.S. cars,” said Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brent Snyder of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division. “Today’s indictment is another reminder that antitrust violations are not just corporate offenses but also crimes by individuals. The Antitrust Division will continue to vigorously prosecute executives who orchestrate their companies’ efforts to break the law.”

“The FBI is committed to aggressively investigating individuals who engage in criminal conduct that corrupts the global marketplace,” said Special Agent in Charge Howard S. Marshall of the FBI’s Louisville Division. “We will continue our work with the Department of Justice Antitrust Division to uncover schemes aimed at creating an unfair competitive advantage by way of price fixing, bid rigging or other illegal means.”

The indictment alleges that Kyomoto, Katsumaru and Kuroda participated in the conspiracy from at least as early as September 2003 until at least October 2011. For most of this period, Kyomoto resided in the United States and served as President of an unnamed joint venture with offices in Indiana and Michigan, which manufactured and sold automotive body sealing products.

Katsumaru, who resided in Japan, served in multiple managerial positions during the conspiracy period, including Manager of the Sales and Marketing Division, for an unnamed company based in Hiroshima, Japan, that partially owned the joint venture and also manufactured and sold automotive body sealing products. Kuroda, who resided in Japan, served as a sales branch manager at the same Hiroshima-based company for the entirety of the charged period.

According to the indictment, Kyomoto, Katsumaru and Kuroda each instructed subordinates at their respective companies to communicate with co-conspirators at other companies in order to allocate sales of, rig bids for and fix the prices of automotive body sealing products; were aware that employees under their supervision were engaging in such communications; and condoned such communications. The indictment further alleges that Kyomoto attended meetings in the United States with co-conspirators during which Kyomoto and the co-conspirators reached agreements regarding sales of automotive body sealing products to Honda and Toyota. The indictment also alleges that Katsumaru and Kuroda instructed and encouraged certain employees at their company to destroy evidence of the conspiracy. Each individual faces a maximum penalty to 10 years in prison and a $1 million criminal fine if convicted.

Today’s charge is the result of an ongoing federal antitrust investigation into price fixing, bid rigging and other anticompetitive conduct in the automotive parts industry, which is being conducted by the Antitrust Division’s criminal enforcement sections and the FBI. A total of 58 individuals and 37 companies have been charged and have agreed to pay more than $2.6 billion in criminal fines. This indictment was brought by the Antitrust Division’s Chicago Office and the FBI’s Louisville Field Office, Covington Resident Agency, with the assistance of the FBI’s International Corruption Unit and the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of Kentucky. Anyone with information about anticompetitive conduct in the automotive parts industry should contact the Antitrust Division’s Citizen Complaint Center at 888-647-3258, visit www.justice.gov/atr/contact/newcase.html or call the FBI’s Louisville Field Office at 502-263-6000.

A man is suspected of stealing the personal belongings of firefighters from Fire Station Number 2.

Firefighters say that they were coming back from a run when they noticed a suspicious person, they tried to keep the 41-year-old at the station but he took off.

That’s when they noticed personal items missing from the station.

Firefighters and police spent an hour scouring the neighborhood, even calling in a K-9 unit to help.

They eventually tracked Jason Allen down and took him into custody.

The firefighters were able to find some of the stolen items in the parking lot of a nearby business.

Allen is charged with second degree burglary.

Officials say that they have charged three people in regards to a robbery that happened on Maxwelton Court early Thursday morning.

The victim told officers that several people in a gold car approached him, one of the passengers displayed a weapon and the people robbed him of his personal items.

President Michael Benson confirms to LEX 18 that police have questioned persons of interest in the EKU threat that resulted in classes being cancelled.

EKU Police along with other law enforcement agencies are continuing their investigation and provide increased patrols. Although several individuals have been spoken with, there has still been no arrest.

Officials at Eastern Kentucky University cancelled classes Wednesday, October 7th through Friday, October 9th following the threat found inside a campus bathroom Monday morning. The upcoming EKU football game against Tennessee Tech changed venues and will be played in Georgetown.

This response is all because on the morning of October 5, 2015, the Eastern Kentucky University Police Department issued a Public Safety Alert after receiving a report about graffiti with threatening language. The graffiti, found in a bathroom in the Powell Building, states, “KILL ALL BY 10/8/15 THIS BU OOP.”

Essential services are still open.

According to the Eastern Progress, a spokesperson for the University says that while there is no evidence of an imminent danger, there has been an escalation in the threat from social media. EKU Police officials are also currently looking into all leads of threatening notes slipped into the dorm rooms of females, but so far they haven’t be able to substantiate those reports.

EKU President Michael Benson released a statement reading in part, “Our primary goals in assessing this situation are limiting any safety risks and avoiding disruption to learning and teaching. While we are confident the responding team of law enforcement agencies has kept a watchful eye over our community and is diligently investigating the threat, it has become clear this incident continues to be unsettling to a number of our students, faculty and staff.”

EKU will be on fall break until Wednesday, October 14, 2015.

The university is offering a $10,000 reward for the identification leading to the arrest and conviction of the responsible person or persons.

By October 2015, many U.S. banks will have replaced millions of traditional credit cards, which rely on data stored on magnetic strips, with new credit cards containing a microchip known as an EMV chip. While EMV cards offer enhanced security, the FBI is warning law enforcement, merchants, and the general public that these cards can still be targeted by fraudsters.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

What is an EMV credit card?

The small gold chip found in many credit cards is most often referred to as an EMV chip. Cards containing this chip are known as EMV cards, as well as “chip-and-signature,” “chip-and-pin,” or “smart” cards. The name “EMV” refers to the three originators of chip-enabled cards: Europay, MasterCard, and Visa. EMV chips are now the global standard for credit card security. Unlike traditional credit cards that store data on a magnetic strip, EMV cards store card data in tiny integrated circuits and are authenticated when the cardholder inputs a PIN into a PoS terminal.

With traditional credit cards, the magnetic strip on the back of the card contains data and personal information about the cardholder. This information is used to authenticate the card at the point of sale (PoS), before the purchase is authorized. While most EMV cards still retain the traditional magnetic strip and the cardholder’s signature on the back of the card, they offer the additional enhancement of the microchip embedded into the card. This allows merchants to verify the card’s authenticity by the cardholder’s personal identification number (PIN), which is known only to the cardholder and the issuing financial institution. In addition, EMV cards transmit transaction data between the merchant and the issuing bank with a special code that is unique to each individual transaction. This provides the cardholder greater security and makes the EMV card less vulnerable to hacking while the data is transmitted from the PoS to the issuing bank.

THREAT

Although EMV cards will provide greater security than traditional magnetic strip cards, they are still vulnerable to fraud. EMV cards can be counterfeited using stolen card data obtained from the black market. Additionally, the data on the magnetic strip of an EMV card can still be stolen if the PoS terminal is infected with data-capturing malware. Further, the EMV chip will likely not stop stolen or counterfeit credit cards from being used for online or telephone purchases where the card is not physically seen by the merchant and where the EMV chip is not used to transmit transaction data.

DEFENSE

Consumers should closely safeguard the security of their EMV cards. This includes being vigilant in handling, signing, and activating a card as soon as it arrives in the mail, reviewing credit card statements for irregularities, and promptly reporting lost or stolen credit cards to the issuing bank. When using the EMV card at a PoS terminal, consumers should use the PIN, instead of a signature, to verify the transaction. This fully utilizes the security features built within the EMV card. Consumers should also shield the keypad from bystanders when entering their card PIN.

Merchants are encouraged to require consumers to enter their PIN for each transaction, in order to verify their identity. If a consumer uses a signature, merchants should ask to also see a government-issued photo identification card to verify the cardholder’s identity.

The FBI encourages merchants to handle the EMV card and its data with the same security precautions they use for standard credit cards. Merchants handling sales over the telephone or via the Internet are encouraged to adopt additional security measures to ensure the authenticity of cards used for transactions. At a minimum, merchants should use secure servers and payment links for all Internet transactions with credit cards, and information should be encrypted, if possible, to avert hackers from compromising card information provided by consumers. Credit card information taken over the telephone should be encrypted, and any written copies of the card information should be securely disposed.

If you believe you have been a victim of credit card fraud, reach out to your local law enforcement or FBI field office, and file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.IC3.gov.
