For the second time in about five weeks, the former mayor of Hodgenville has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants.
Terry Cruse, 63, was arrested by Elizabethtown police Wednesday afternoon and told officers he had been drinking alcohol, according to an arrest report. He took a Breathalyzer test and his alcohol level was .139, according to the Elizabethtown Police Department. The state legal limit is .08.
Officers responded Wednesday around 4:30 p.m. to East Dixie Avenue and New Glendale Road for a single-vehicle crash. Police made contact with Cruse, the driver of the vehicle involved and according to an arrest report, Cruse was âvisibly impaired.â
Wayne Hayes remembers a time when he would drive past a sign on what now is North Mulberry Street in Elizabethtown that declared the cityâs population to be 4,500.
With the population now estimated to be more than 30,000, a great deal of growth and change have occurred throughout Hayesâ life. Despite all the transformations that have happened around him, Hayes has maintained some key values, including a strong faith, a dedication to family and a devotion to service for his community and his country.
On April 13, Hayes will celebrate 100 years of life. Although simply being a centenarian is quite the achievement in itself, the way Hayes has filled those 100 years â from fighting in World War II to maintaining a local business for three decades to finding new love in his golden years â is much more remarkable.

Prior to “Fake News” and slanted news channels on television in the modern era there were also rumors about the paternity of the 16
th President of the United States Abraham Lincoln, who has historically been credited with saving the country through his support of the Union in the Civil War (War to Suppress the Rebellious) and that his father was not Thomas Lincoln but was Abram Enloe.
The origin of the paternity story started in articles in the September 10 and 17, 1893 editions of the newspaper Charlotte Observer. After it got circulated several other Western North Carolina writers perpetuated the myth.
