A local judge in a small eastern Kentucky town was shot and
killed in his chambers Thursday, and the local sheriff is
under arrest.
District Judge Kevin Mullins, 54, was discovered with multiple
gunshot wounds, according to the Kentucky State Police. Nobody
else was injured.
Letcher County Sheriff Shawn M. “Mickey” Stines, 43, was
arrested at the scene. He’s been charged with first-degree
murder. Authorities have not commented on a possible motive.
The courthouse is in Whitesburg, 146 miles southeast
of Lexington.
Stines allegedly walked into the judge’s outer office,
then told court employees and others gathered there that
he needed to speak with Mullins alone, according to The
Mountain Eagle. Shortly after the two walked into the
judge’s chambers, shots were heard. Then Stines walked
out with his hands up and surrendered to police.

Must have been something SERIOUSLY corrupt !
I don't think I've *ever* heard of a sheriff nuking
a judge.
