WHITLEY COUNTY - A status hearing was held Thursday morning in Whitley County Circuit Court for a man accused of killing his girlfriend in 2019.
Nicholas M. Rucker, 40, was not virtually present for the brief status hearing held Thursday morning, but his attorney, Kim Green was. So too was Commonwealth Attorney Ronnie Bowling who explained to Judge Paul Winchester that the two sides were meeting after the defense had filed a motion to compel outstanding evidence possessed by the Commonwealth.
âThe Commonwealth filed a notice of compliance, and we received in the mail this week, the discovery,â said Green, who also noted that her team had received most of what they asked for, but that she had not had time to go through it.
Corbin Police Department may soon have a new face in the office who won’t be carrying a gun.
Whitley County Health Department Public Health Director Marcy Rein presented the plan for a pilot program, which would place a behavioral health clinician inside the Corbin Police Department, to the Corbin City Commission on Jan. 19.
As part of the pilot program, the clinician would be available to provide both formal and informal training to police staff and other city staff and assist in offering consultations to officers on call or during encounters.
“We want to give them [officers] more tools to use and we want to take the pressure off of law enforcement in dealing with everything that comes their way,” said Rein.

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Inside the old Gander Mountain Building, thousands have gotten tested for COVID-19.
But Paul Winchester, who has worked at the facility since it opened, says he sees a large gap in who’s getting tested.
“We’ve seen like a 96, 98 percent white American, one percent of our Hispanic American if that, and half a percent of Black Americans,” says Mankato NAACP Board Member and testing site worker, Paul Winchester.
In an effort to be more inclusive and accommodating, the Minnesota Department of Health hosts private tours of COVID-19 saliva testing facilities, that gives the community a chance to voice their opinion on needed changes.
