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 Oldham County Detention Center, but was moved to the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Johnson County on Monday, according to Oldham County Jailer Jeffrey Tindall.
He will remain there until the state transfers him to the Roederer Correctional Complex in Oldham County, Tindall said.
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.
