Tiffanie Lucas appeared Monday morning in Bullitt Circuit Court, where her attorney asked Judge Rodney Burress for a sentencing hearing later this week.

Court documents indicate Catherine McKinney is expected to now change her plea, just months before the case is scheduled to go to trial.
The Louisville-based utility sued Bernheim in 2019 after it was unable to reach a deal to buy an easement for the proposed 12-mile line that would run through central Bullitt County.
LG&E argues it can condemn the property for a 12-mile natural gas pipeline, but Bernheim contends the land is public property that can’t be seized.
The permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers comes as several of LG&E's condemnation lawsuits remain unresolved, including one involving land owned by Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest.
Last week’s filings are the latest in a legal fight over the proposed pipeline that also includes a separate lawsuit involving Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest.
