Two men indicted in vehicle pursuits

A Madison County grand jury indicted two men Thursday for two separate vehicle pursuit incidents.

Kenneth Gadd, 44, of Barker Lane in Berea, was pursued not by one local law enforcement agency, but three. Gadd is charged with two counts of first-degree fleeing or evading police — first from Madison County Sheriff’s deputies and Berea Police and second from Richmond Police — both on Sept. 12.

Gadd also is charged with first-degree wanton endangerment, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol (aggravated first offense) and failure of owner/operator to maintain required insurance. According to the indictment, Gadd’s blood alcohol level was .10. The legal limit is .08.

If convicted, Gadd could spend up to 15 years in prison for the pursuit.

Albert S. Kirby, 28, no listed address, also was indicted for an Aug. 25 pursuit involving MCSO Deputy Scotty Anderson. Kirby is charged with first-degree fleeing or evading police, two counts of wanton endangerment, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs (aggravated first offense) and second-degree disorderly conduct.

Kirby allegedly was driving more than 30 mph over the speed limit and “created a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury” both to a motorcyclist and vehicle operator. Kirby’s blood alcohol level is not listed in the indictment. He is charged with disorderly conduct for “cursing at Deputy Scotty Anderson and refusing to walk, forcing officers to drag him out of Pattie A. Clay Hospital.”

If convicted, Kirby also could spend up to 15 years in prison.

A 65-year-old Paint Lick woman is facing prison time after being indicted for driving under the influence — her fourth offense.

Lilly Parson was arrested Sept. 1 by Kentucky State Police on aggravated charges that she was operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Her blood alcohol level allegedly was .18, more than two times the legal limit. Parson also is charged with operating a motor vehicle while her license was suspended for a previous DUI, her first offense. According to the indictment, Parson’s third offense occurred earlier this year in Garrard County.

If convicted, Parson could spend up to five years in prison.

The grand jury also returned the following indictments:

• Karen Michelle DeBord, 31, Quality Quarters, second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, first-degree persistent felony offender. If convicted, DeBord could serve up to 20 years in prison. (RPD)

• David Pennington, 47, Waco, two counts of theft by unlawful taking, third-degree burglary. If convicted, Pennington could serve up to 15 years in prison. (MCSO)

• Steven S. Roden, 36, Manna Drive, first-degree possession of a controlled substance, second-degree possession of a controlled substance, first-degree persistent felon offender. If convicted, Roden could serve up to 20 years in prison. (MCSO)

• James Brandon Harrison, 26, of McKee, first-degree possession of a controlled substance, second-degree possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, reckless driving. If convicted, Harrison could spend up to five years in prison. (MCSO)

• Lester L. Satterfield, 26, of Mckee Road in Berea, criminal possession of a forged prescription (first offense). If convicted, Satterfield could spend up to five years in prison. (BPD)

• Linda P. Risk, 54, of Louisville, first-degree possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia. If convicted, Risk could serve up to five years in prison. (BPD)

• William G. Brewer, 49, of Lexington, first-degree possession of a controlled substance, operating a motor vehicle while impaired. If convicted, Brewer could serve up to five years in prison. (KSP)

An indictment is a formal accusation of a crime and does not establish guilt.
