Court/Criminal

A traffic stop last June has resulted in one man being sentenced to six years and another ordered to stay out of the county.
LaRue County Deputy Russell McCoy said the driver, William Howard Thompson, 54, of Loretto was driving erratically that day when he pulled him over.
A search of the vehicle turned up drugs and a firearm.
Thompson and his passenger, Jason R. Davis, 33, of Magnolia, implicated each other in the discovery.

Five people were indicted March 21 by a LaRue County grand jury for their alleged involvement in an indoor marijuana growing operation.
Jeffery Purdam, age unavailable, of Hodgenville; Brenna Marie Buchanan, 32, of Glendale; Annette Louise Fish, 48, of Magnolia; John David Maylee, 47, of Mexico, Mo.; and Marcus Brian Wiley, 40, of Magnolia, were each charged with cultivating marijuana, five or more plants and complicity; possession of drug paraphernalia and complicity; and possession of marijuana and complicity.

A Magnolia man has been arrested and charged with robbing the East Broadway Subway restaurant in Campbellsville.
Bobby Kidd, 48, of 3510 Highway 566 was arrested at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 22.
According to an arrest citation, Subway workers reported a burglary on Monday, March 21.
After reviewing a videotape at the store, court records state, several subjects were interviewed.
Kidd’s vehicle was searched and clothing matching the burglar’s was found.

A Chevrolet Suburban, driven by a man fleeing from police, took out a brick wall, tore out concrete posts and damaged four cruisers early Saturday. The vehicle stopped when it bottomed out in a drainage ditch in Hodgenville, but the driver twice managed to elude officers.
No one was injured during the chase, but officials are still totaling the amount of damages to private and public property.
The mayhem began about 5 a.m. Saturday when a Campbellsville City officer signaled for the Suburban to pull over near Walmart.
