GLASGOW — A gas leak Thursday evening left parts of West Main Street closed to traffic and resulted in the evacuation of several businesses, officials with the Glasgow Fire Department said.

Road construction crews ruptured a gas line on Leslie Avenue with a track hole sometime around 5:30 p.m. Roads were closed and a few businesses in the area were evacuated just as a precaution until the gas main could be shut off and the air quality monitored, authorities said. Several other streets near the proximity of West Main Street were also closed to traffic.

“There was really no danger,” Assistant Fire Chief John Eudy said. Emergency crews remained on the scene until around 11 p.m.

Man arrested for growing marijuana

A Russell County man was arrested Tuesday and charged with growing marijuana after the Kentucky State Police Strike Force Team discovered a large amount of marijuana growing beside a residence in the Eli community in Russell County.

Danny Coffey, 58, was charged with cultivating marijuana over five plants and trafficking in marijuana over five pounds. Authorities seized 170 marijuana plants and approximately 40 pounds of processed marijuana in the raid.

Coffey was taken into custody and lodged in the Russell County Jail.
