Paul A. Wilson
A local man accused of assaulting two police officers has been sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to the charges.
Paul Adam Wilson, 34, of Nancy, was sentenced in Pulaski Circuit Court May 12 on two counts of third-degree Assault on a Police/Probation Officer. Charges of Resisting Arrest, second-degree Fleeing or Evading Police (On Foot), and Public Intoxication through a Controlled Substance (excluding Alcohol) were dismissed in exchange for Wilson s guilty plea.
The local grand jury indicted Wilson last February in connection to an incident that occurred in the early morning hours of December 15.
According to Wilson s arrest citation, Somerset Police responded to a call about a man, believed to be impaired, walking in the middle of US 27 just before 3:20 a.m. that morning. Wilson was found walking north near Light no. 11 but ran to the southbound lanes when he saw the first marked police cruiser.

A fifth civil lawsuit was filed in federal court late last week against two Pulaski County constables who are also facing criminal charges.
The joint criminal trial of District 5 Constable Michael âWallyâ Wallace and District 4 Constable Gary Baldock is scheduled for June 14 at the U.S. District Court in London. Both men are charged with Conspiracy Against Civil Rights and Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine.
A separate trial is scheduled for July involving Baldock on two charges he faces alone: Attempted Murder of a Federal Agent and Discharge of a Firearm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence.
