The arrest of North was the result of an investigation after numerous tailgates were stolen from pickup truck in the county.

According to officials, North had allegedly been to several car lots trying to sell tailgates.

After being identified as a suspect, North attempted to make restitution to a victim of a tailgate theft.

Rednour allegedly wrote a check to a victim for restitution, however that check had insufficient funds in the account.

North is charged with receiving stolen property under $10,000 and Rednour is charged with theft by deception – cold checks under $500.

Detectives are attempting to locate some of the stolen tailgates, which they believe were sold in another county nearby.

Two men charged in a 2010 murder at a Lexington business were formally sentenced in the case Wednesday.

Kenneth Wadkins and Joseph Richardson were each sentenced to five years in prison in the death of Ricardo Cole, who was shot to death in the Camelot West parking lot on Dec. 18, 2010.

Cole was found with two gunshot wounds. Witnesses told LEX 18 he was shot in the chest and lower back.

Both men pleaded guilty to amended charges earlier this month. They were both originally charged with murder, but the Commonwealth agreed to reduce the charges against them because some of the key witnesses in the case wouldn’t agree to testify. Wadkins charges were reduced to criminal facilitation to manslaughter, and Richardson’s to reckless homicide.

Both pleaded guilty to those charges on April 14 with a recommended sentence of five years.

Richardson admitted to shooting Cole. He said he then got in a vehicle with Wadkins.

Even though that confession was made in the courtroom, the Commonwealth said there was nothing they could do.

“If we were to go to trial, we can’t use anything they say in a guilty plea,” Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Kimberly Baird said.

Despite the victim’s family’s objection, the men were each sentenced to five years.

Officials are looking for two suspects in an armed robbery at a Lexington bank Wednesday morning.

Police say two men came into Peoples Exchange Bank on Richmond Road just after 11 a.m., showed a handgun and demanded money. Police say they ran toward an apartment complex. It’s unclear how much they took off with.

Officials only have a very vague description of the suspects, whom they describe as two men wearing bandanas and grey hoodies.

That’s the same description police have of two suspects in an attempted robbery at the Check Advance on Versailles Road that happened only about a half hour earlier.

Police are not releasing any other details at this time or saying if the two robberies may be connected.
