Local jail lockups were a bit light over the weekend â golly gee, do you wonder why?
With last weekâs historic ice storm rolling through northeastern Kentucky and wreaking havoc on the area roadways, it appears not a whole lot of people wound up in jail over the weekend.
Thatâs not to say police havenât been doing their jobs in less than stellar conditions â as Ashland Police Chief Todd Kelley pointed out last week, law enforcement doesnât cease because of a little bit of snow.
The following people were booked over the weekend â anyone named in the lockups should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The Ardmore Homeless Coalition began a major step toward better understanding Ardmore’s homeless population Tuesday morning.
Staff at the Grace Center began surveying individuals experiencing homelessness bright and early Tuesday morning, at 6 a.m. The surveys are being collected as a part of the Point-in-Time Count, an annual survey of homeless individuals in the United States.
The counts are conducted by local agencies called Continuums of Care on behalf of the Unites States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Ardmore falls into the Southeastern Continuum of Care, one of the largest in the state.
By 10 a.m., Grace Center Executive Director Laura Akers said they had already counted 18 individuals. The counts are normally done by sending out individuals to survey those staying at homeless camps or elsewhere, but the Southeastern Continuum of Care decided to use a different method this year.
