Woman arrested on multiple charges

A Mount Hermon woman was arrested Saturday and charged with leaving the scene of an accident.

Audrey Jessie was arrested about 5 p.m. on Gene Hunt Road. In addition to being charged for leaving the scene of an accident, she was also charged with failure of owner to maintain required insurance, no insurance card, driving under the influence (first offense), open alcohol container in motor vehicle, failure to notify Department of Transportation of address change and no seat belt, according to Kentucky State Police reports.

She was lodged in the Monroe County Jail.

Man charged with drug possession

EDMONTON — A Cumberland County man was arrested in Edmonton city limits on Sept. 26 on drug-related charges.

Brandon Moore of Burkesville was charged with possession of a controlled substance in the first degree, prescription not in original container and possession of drug paraphernalia in the first degree, according to Kentucky State Police.

Coroner to subpoena police file on jail death

FRANKFORT — The coroner in Frankfort said he plans to subpoena police files in his investigation of a Salvadoran immigrant’s death in the Franklin County Regional Jail.

Franklin County Coroner Will Harrod told the Lexington Herald-Leader he was called to the hospital after Ana Romero Rivera died, not to the jail where the death occurred.

Police are investigating the 44-year-old immigrant’s death as a suicide.

She had been placed in isolation for not eating and a preliminary autopsy showed she died of asphyxia from hanging.

Although Rivera was held at the local jail, she was in the custody of U.S. marshals, awaiting deportation after pleading guilty to immigration fraud.

Harrod said he was awaiting the police report, toxicology findings and a final autopsy report before issuing his final report on her death.
