Joyce Coomer: Electric is out at the top of Jamestown Hill

Joyce Coomer:writes:

Electric is out at the top of Jamestown hill. So are the traffic signals. Most drivers are treating the inactive signals as they should -- as a four-way stop. Others are disregarding everything, but where they are going. Joyce M. Coomer
Thanks, Joyce Coomer - We are only getting sketchy reports. We have heard from Sheriff Moss that the hospital and Summit Manor are on generators and that many of the businesses out Jamestown Street are without electricity. We'll be posting as reports come in.

Juvenile found, Louisville man arrested for human trafficking

AG's office, local law enforcement worked together to make arrest. Case started with a tip in Lexington of a juvenile being advertised for prostitution, then followed trail to Louisville, where arrest was made. "Over the last year, Beshear has established the Office of the Attorney General as the leading agency fighting human trafficking, a modern-day form of slavery in which adults and children are forced into sex or labor services," writers say.
NOTE: Indictments are considered formal charges. An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceeding.
