Man gets 2 years for assaulting officers


Paul A. Wilson
A local man accused of assaulting two police officers has been sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to the charges.
Paul Adam Wilson, 34, of Nancy, was sentenced in Pulaski Circuit Court May 12 on two counts of third-degree Assault on a Police/Probation Officer. Charges of Resisting Arrest, second-degree Fleeing or Evading Police (On Foot), and Public Intoxication through a Controlled Substance (excluding Alcohol) were dismissed in exchange for Wilson's guilty plea.
The local grand jury indicted Wilson last February in connection to an incident that occurred in the early morning hours of December 15.
According to Wilson's arrest citation, Somerset Police responded to a call about a man, believed to be impaired, walking in the middle of US 27 just before 3:20 a.m. that morning. Wilson was found walking north near Light no. 11 but ran to the southbound lanes when he saw the first marked police cruiser.

The case of a Powell County man arrested for driving over 100 mph earlier this month is headed to the Pulaski County Grand Jury.
Jeffrey Wayne Holder, 45, of Clay City, was arrested December 7 on charges of first-degree Fleeing or Evading Police (Motor Vehicle), three counts of first-degree Wanton Endangerment, Menacing, Resisting Arrest, Reckless Driving, Speeding 26 MPH or greater than the speed limit, Disregard a Stop Sign, and Failure of Non-Owner Operator to Maintain Insurance.
The charges stem from a pursuit that began around 9 p.m. December 7 when Pulaski County Sheriff’s Deputy Nick Barber observed a black 2014 Jeep Patriot traveling on Barnesburg Road in excess of 100 mph. Dep. Barber attempted to stop the Jeep, according to Sheriff Greg Speck, but the driver refused to pull over. Instead he continued onto Ky. 461 — disregarding a stop sign and passing multiple vehicles.
