Mark L. Dungan
A Pulaski County man accused of shooting a McCreary County deputy sheriff is set to stand trial this January.
Mark Lynn Dungan, 50, of Science Hill, appeared in McCreary Circuit Court last week learning his three-day trial will begin on January 19 of next year. Dungan had been scheduled to stand trial last October on charges of Attempted Murder of a Police Officer, first-degree Fleeing or Evading Police (Motor Vehicle), first-degree Wanton Endangerment (Police Officer), first-degree Criminal Mischief, Tampering with Physical Evidence, Resisting Arrest, and Convicted Felon in Possession of a Handgun before the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a halt to in-person court proceedings.
