Elkhorn City, KY. (March 16, 2021) – A Kentucky State Police Trooper responded to a complaint of a vehicle blocking the loading dock of the Quality Foods near the intersection of Highway 460 and Highway 195 at 6:41 a.m. Upon the trooper’s arrival, the male operator of the vehicle was located in the driver’s seat, wearing his seat belt with the vehicle running, and the transmission in drive. During the encounter, the operator of the vehicle attempted to pull away; however, the vehicle was against a concrete barrier which held the vehicle from moving. The operator was arrested for operating a motor vehicle under the influence. During a search of the operator and the vehicle, troopers located and seized 1.25 ounces of suspected methamphetamine, digital scales, drug paraphernalia, and a quantity of US currency.

The state budget is making its way to the governor’s desk.
The Kentucky House voted last night to approve the 12-billion-dollar budget after a couple of hours of debate.
Republicans are happy that millions of dollars have been included for the state’s Rainy Day Fund.
But Democrats have concerns about what they see as a lack of public education funding and for money to help Kentuckians struggling through the COVID-19 crisis.
