A former nurse at the federal prison in Lexington has been sentenced for smuggling tobacco into the prison, in exchange for payments from inmates.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves sentenced 47 year-old Michael Hardin, formerly employed as a registered nurse at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, to twelve months in prison, for bribery of a public official.  Under federal law, Hardin must serve the entire term of his sentence; and at the conclusion of his incarceration, he must serve one year of home detention.  Hardin will also be required to complete 400 hours of community service during his three-year term of supervised release.

According to his plea agreement, from July 2014 to August 2015, Hardin smuggled tobacco into the prison facility for inmates, who paid him a total of $22,429 in return.  The inmates used family members and friends to send the money to Hardin.  As a condition of his plea agreement, Hardin repaid all the money he received.

Prisoners incarcerated in federal correctional facilities, including FMC Lexington, are prohibited from possessing contraband, such as tobacco.

Police say two women got into a fight at a home in Cynthiana that ended with one of them being stabbed and airlifted to the hospital.

The scene has cleared out in front of the home on Pearl Street, but police tell LEX 18 that a woman walked into a home and was told to leave by the woman inside.

However, she didn’t leave and instead, police say the unwelcome visitor grabbed a steak knife and stabbed the other before taking off.

The victim’s mother didn’t want to talk on camera, but told LEX 18 that her daughter had been stabbed three times including once in the neck before being flown to UK Hospital.

The victim did have surgery and her injuries are severe, but she is expected to live.

After the victim named someone as her attacker, police took that person into custody.

The person has since been released from police custody as investigators continue to gather evidence.
