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.
Brandy Scarberry
Four people were arrested this past weekend on various charges, including child endangerment and first-degree criminal abuse after police said they responded to two separate welfare checks at Owens Drive and found children who were either unattended or living in filth.
The first welfare check, court documents show, occurred at approximately 1 p.m. on Jan. 8, when officers responded to the Owens Drive apartment of Brandy Scarberry, 39, and her boyfriend and father of her children, Timothy Mobley, 46.
Officer Joe Slone wrote in an arrest citation that Lt. Russell Blankenship and Officer Nick Taylor arrived and made contact with Scarberry, at which time the officers noticed the disarray of the apartment and the odor coming from the living room.
