Brooks Houck transferred to prison in Oldham County

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Brooks Houck, one of three men convicted in the murder of Bardstown mother Crystal Rogers, has been transferred to a different prison in Kentucky.

Houck was being housed at the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Johnson County after being transferred from the Oldham County Detention Center in November.

Monday, Houck was transferred from Big Sandy to the Roederer Assessment Center at the Roederer Correction Complex in Oldham County, according to a VINE notice.

In September, Houck and his co-defendant Joseph Lawson were sentenced in Nelson County after their convictions in the Rogers case. Circuit Court Judge Charles Simms III sentenced Houck to life in prison and Lawson to 25 years, the maximum sentences allowed by Kentucky law.

Lawson's father, Steve Lawson, was previously sentenced to 17 years behind bars.

A new photo of Houck from the Roederer Correction Complex was not immediately available.
