Post 11 Troopers, along with several local agencies, responded to the scene. Subsequent investigation and a canvass of the surrounding area failed to yield a suspect or conclusive evidence of gunfire.

The incident is still under investigation by Post 11 Troopers and extra patrol will be provided to the area. Anyone with information concerning this incident or future suspicious behavior is asked to contact Post 11 at 606-878-6622 or 1-800-222-5555.

Police say that gunfire led to a chase that landed four men in jail.

The Anderson News reports that the incident began just before 6 p.m. at the park-and-ride area near the Bluegrass Parkway when an argument broke out. The incident, police tell the newspaper, involved drugs and alcohol.

Police say one of the vehicles fled from the park and ride and was chased by a vehicle driven by Giles Bullock. The chase turned north onto Harrodsburg Road, with both vehicles traveling at high rates of speed and shots coming from Bullock’s vehicle toward a red Mustang occupied by Edward Hahn and Charles Walls.

Hahn and Walls called 911 and were headed to the police department during the chase, officers said, as the shooting continued through the residential area of Stringtown and onto North Main Street. At least one round hit the mustang.

Also arrested were Shelby Waford, 32; Michael C. Rice, 27; and Cody Lutz, 23.

Lawrenceburg Police Department said he and witnesses saw the vehicles pass at least six other vehicles as they traveled on North Main Street before turning onto Court Street.

Brashears said police recovered a pair of handguns in the vehicle driven by Bullock, one under the passenger seat and another on the rear passenger seat. Both were taken into evidence.

It wasn’t clear as of Friday morning which of the four men charged were shooting at the Mustang.

Bullock was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment and reckless driving.

Waford was charged with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.

Rice and Lotz were charged with first-degree wanton endangerment.

All four were taken to the Lawrenceburg Police Department for questioning before being charged and transported to the Shelby County Detention Center.

Police say that Long was captured on video telling the officer that he had a gun and $500 for the hit.

“After the meeting, he said ‘hold on I want to think about it.’ At that point, we were concerned he’d do it himself because had a firearm or he would have someone else do it. We felt we couldn’t wait to hear back from him,” Captain James Hall told LEX 18.

Long is in jail charged with solicitation to commit murder.  He declined to speak with LEX 18 from jail.

A Louisville man who previously admitted to bribing a former public official was sentenced to five years in federal prison Thursday.

Lawrence J. O’Bryan, 57, was sentenced for three counts of bribery concerning a federally funded program. In addition to being sentenced to five years in federal prison, he was ordered to pay a $100,000 fine and $642,201.50 in restitution. He has paid the restitution in full.

He pleaded guilty to those three counts of bribery concerning a federally funded program back in September 2016.

O’Bryan had admitted to accepting kickbacks on behalf of former Secretary of the Kentucky Personnel Cabinet, Timothy Longmeyer, beginning in 2009.

His plea agreement stated that Longmeyer agreed to use his former position to steer contracts to MC Squared Consulting. In return, the Department of Justice states that the owner of MC Squared agreed to pay O’Bryan approximately half of MC Squared’s proceeds from these contracts. O’Bryan then kicked back a portion of these funds to Longmeyer.

The Department of Justice says that during his involvement in the scheme, O’Bryan accepted $642,201.50 in kickbacks from MC Squared. A significant portion of that was transferred to Longmeyer.

Longmeyer pleaded guilty for his involvement and was sentenced to 70 months in prison in September 2016.

Samuel McIntosh and Myron Harrod, both of MC Squared, pleaded guilty in January 2017 and are currently awaiting sentencing.

Court documents say the two kidnapped someone for two hours, then allegedly hit that victim with a gun and a hammer while threatening to kill the victim and the victim’s family.

The victim tells police the two took the victim’s clothes and other belongings and threatened them before letting them go, naked.

Costin and Hatfield are now charged with robbery, assault, and kidnapping.

On Thursday, they were both put on house arrest.

The woman charged with the criminal abuse of two infants entered a guilty plea to charges in connection with the case.

Bessie Perkins entered a guilty plea to assault and criminal abuse. She was arrested in 2015 after police say she abused two infants over a six week period.

State Troopers started their investigation after the two infants, 9 months old and 4 months old, were hurt and taken to the hospital.

Their parents reported their injuries and said they happened while they were in Perkins’ care.  The children are not related and Perkins was not working with any kind of licensed daycare service.

One of the children suffered multiple leg fractures. Another was kept in the hospital for several days with critical injuries. That child will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

It was recommended that Perkins spend 25 years in prison on the charges. Formal sentencing will be set for March 24.
