 The Kentucky State Police Post 04 in Elizabethtown covers eight counties: Hardin, Jefferson, Bullitt, Nelson, Meade, Breckinridge, LaRue and Grayson.

For the month of August, Post 04 Troopers wrote a total of 1,689 citations: 69 drunk drivers, 556 speeders, 201 violators were charged for failure to wear a seatbelt, 15 citations were for failure to use a child restraint.

KSP investigated 87 crashes and conducted 2,436 vehicle inspections. More than 800 motorists were given a courtesy notice in lieu of a traffic citation for minor traffic offenses.

 Two people pleaded guilty Thursday in LaRue Circuit Court to multiple drug charges and perjury.

 A Hodgenville man was charged last week with flagrant non-support, according to LaRue County Deputy Brian Smith.

Jeffrey M. Aubrey, 34, had eluded law enforcement for more than a year. He was found “hiding in a closet” in a residence on Thompson Hill Road, Smith said.

Officers served several Hardin County warrants on Thompson including probation violations.

Aubrey owes $9,205.88 in arrears as of Aug. 31, according to court records.

 A 61-year-old New Haven man, John Hagan, was shot at 2125 Monks Road Thursday afternoon in an incident involving a law enforcement officer.

The shooting was apparently related to a neighbor dispute that Nelson County Dispatch reported at 2:46 p.m. According to the dispatch log, the officer who responded was Michael Watts.

According to a press release by Norman Chaffins, a spokesman for the Kentucky State Police, state troopers received a call at 2:57 p.m. for backup for a Nelson County deputy sheriff who requested assistance.
