Two people will be facing charges after a deadly hit-and-run crash in Scott County.

The sheriff’s office tells LEX 18 that they were called out around midnight to Sabin Drive in Georgetown.

Officials tell LEX 18 that Donald Savage, 46, was trying to stop a pickup truck that was driving recklessly through the neighborhood when he was hit and killed.

Witnesses describe the truck as white or silver with a loud exhaust. They say it also has a monster energy drink logo on the rear passenger window and might also have an NRA logo on the same window. Witnesses were able to see part of the license plate and say it’s a KY Farm license plate and contains the numbers 8678.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of Randy Cress, you are asked to contact law enforcement.

A man held in the disappearance of his daughter’s mother stopped in Arkansas along a multi-state trip that included the disposal of at least some of her remains, authorities said.

Police in Boulder, Colo., say Adam Densmore, 32, killed the woman, Ashley Mead, 25, before leaving that state Sunday and traveling to four other states until his arrest.

A portion of Mead’s remains may be in a purple suitcase left along the route that included a stop in Conway, authorities said in a news release. That statement added that Densmore was suspected of discarding body parts in a “variety of communities.”

After leaving Colorado on Sunday, Densmore drove south with his daughter, Winter, to Raton, N.M., and through the Texas panhandle before arriving in Haughton, La., on Monday evening, police said.

Mead’s body was believed to have been “at least partially dismembered” just outside of Shreveport, La., authorities noted.

On Tuesday, Densmore traveled to Conway and stopped in the city for the night. Mead and Winter were reported missing that day after the mother didn’t show up for work.

Authorities said that Densmore left Conway the following morning and drove to Okmulgee, Okla., which is nearly 40 miles south of Tulsa.

Around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Densmore was found with Winter and arrested just west of Tulsa on suspicion of violating a custody agreement, police said. A charge of first-degree murder was later added.

His daughter, who authorities said was not harmed, was placed in the temporary custody of Child Protective Services in Oklahoma.

Remains believed to be those of Mead were found Wednesday in a dumpster at a gas station near a Wal-Mart in Okmulgee, the Daily Camera in Boulder, Colo., reported.

The Boulder, Colo., and Okmulgee, Okla, police departments tentatively confirmed the remains as belonging to Mead, though official identification had not been made as of Friday afternoon, the release stated.

LaTresha Woodruff, spokeswoman for the Conway Police Department, confirmed that her agency was informed of Mead’s disappearance and of Densmore’s stay in Conway.

A cash reward of up to $1,000 is being offered in the case.

Anyone with information pertaining to the case is asked to call Boulder, Colo., police at (303) 441-1974 or the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A Dresden, Tennessee, business owner and contract supplier pled guilty today in United States District Court before Senior Judge Thomas B. Russell for his role in a conspiracy to defraud Fulton County citizens, through kickbacks and concealment of costs associated with work performed on the 2015 Fulton County Detention Center expansion, announced United States Attorney John E. Kuhn, Jr.

Ronald D. Armstrong, 60, pled guilty to four charges including Honest Services Wire Fraud and Wire Fraud for his role in a conspiracy that allegedly involved then Fulton County Jailer Ricky D. Parnell and others between April 2015 and August 2016.

http://liarcatchers.com/contact.php

According to the plea agreement, Armstrong is the owner of Armstrong Construction, located in Dresden, Tennessee, whose company often performed contracting work for Fulton County both as part of the Fulton County Detention Center expansion (Project) and for work done prior to the Project. Armstrong has been doing business with Parnell and Fulton County for approximately twenty years.

Armstrong was awarded a $210,000 general contractor contract by the Fulton County Fiscal Court as part of the Project. Parnell influenced the Fulton County Fiscal Court to award Armstrong with this contract with the understanding that Armstrong would pay Parnell $100,000 of his fees to Parnell as a kickback for being awarded the contract. In following through with this agreement, Armstrong so far has paid Parnell $80,000 in cash.

Armstrong knowingly and voluntarily agreed and conspired with Parnell to give Parnell cash kickbacks due to Parnell influencing the Fulton County Fiscal Court to award Armstrong with the general contractor contract for the Project, which Parnell could do because he was the Fulton County Jailer. Armstrong’s contractor fees were paid by Fulton County. As part of their kickback scheme, the Fiscal Court paid Armstrong by check in amounts of $50,000, $60,000, and $50,000, which were drawn on the Fulton County account with Republic Bank in Louisville, Kentucky, and those checks triggered interstate wire transfers.

Armstrong and Parnell both profited from their arrangement and neither the Fulton County Fiscal Court nor the citizens of Fulton County were ever made aware of the arrangement. In doing so, Armstrong had the intent to defraud the citizens of Fulton County through the kickback scheme he entered into with Parnell.

Armstrong was charged by grand jury indictment, with co-defendants Ricky D. Parnell, 59, of Hickman, Kentucky; Michael Homra, 79, of Fulton, Kentucky; Jimmy Boyd, 56, of South Fulton, Tennessee; and Daniel C. Larcom, 42, of Union City, Tennessee, on November 15, 2016 and were arraigned in United States District Court in Paducah, before Magistrate Judge Lanny King that same day.

If convicted at trial, Armstrong could be sentenced to no more than 80 years in prison, pay a $1,000,000 fine, and be sentenced to serve a three-year period of supervised release.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nute Bonner and is being investigated by the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
