(AP) — Republican state Sen. Brandon Smith, who was arrested on the first day of the 2015 legislative session for driving under the influence of alcohol, was found not guilty of the charges after a daylong trial Friday. A convenience store clerk testified Smith did not appear intoxicated earlier that night when he stopped by the store to purchase some energy drinks. (AP) — When authorities found five bourbon barrels on the property of a distillery worker accused of leading a long-running whiskey theft ring in Kentucky, his wife and co-defendant was unaware the containers were on their property, her attorney said Friday. Kevin Fox, the attorney for Julie Curtsinger, said the charges against her appear to be "circumstantial or by implication" because she's married to Gilbert "Toby" Curtsinger, described by authorities as the ringleader of the theft ring in bourbon country. (AP) — A three-judge panel of the Kentucky Court of Appeals has upheld a ruling saying eminent domain can't be used to take private land to build a pipeline to carry natural gas liquids through the state. Attorney Tom FitzGerald, who represented Kentuckians United to Restrain Eminent Domain, told the Lexington Herald-Leader the ruling means only natural gas utilities regulated by the Public Service Commission can invoke eminent domain. (AP) — Kentucky State Police have released a YouTube video asking for tips into the ambush slaying of a Bardstown police officer nearly two years ago. Authorities say Ellis died after being hit with multiple shotgun blasts after he got out of his cruiser to pick up tree limbs strewn on a rural highway exit ramp as he was headed home from work.
