First responders rescued a woman after her car flipped into a freezing creek in Nelson County.
The Nelson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating vehicle break-ins reported two nights in a row in local neighborhoods.
The department's chief deputy agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanors at a hearing on Friday.
Joseph Lawson, who stood trial with Houck, was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence.
Houck agreed to let his sister, Rhonda McIlvoy, have full custody of Eli, who is now 12, according to court documents filed on Monday.
Nelson Circuit Court Judge Charles Simms III followed the recommendation of a jury, which, in May, found Lawson guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence.
The filing comes about two months after attorneys for Lawson asked a judge to either grant him a new trial or throw out the May 30 guilty verdict, arguing he was denied a fair trial.
Rhonda McIlvoy filed a motion in Nelson Circuit Court on July 18, ten days after Brooks Houck was found guilty in the 2015 murder of Rogers, asking to maintain custody of Eli, who is now 12.
On Friday, Judge Charles Simms III, who presided over the 10-day trial in which Houck was convicted in the 2015 murder or Rogers, ordered Houck not to transfer any property until at least after an evidentiary hearing scheduled for Oct. 8.
Police in Bardstown, Kentucky, confirm the crash happened just after midnight, at 1 Court Square.
