SaysWho? Posted Thursday at 10:52 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:52 PM Whoa. Quote A judge was shot and killed Thursday afternoon in his courthouse chambers in Whitesburg and the Letcher County sheriff has been arrested, according to reports. Reports from The Mountain Eagle, a local newspaper in Whitesburg, said Letcher District Judge Kevin D. Mullins was shot and killed, apparently by the Letcher County sheriff. Officials say Sheriff Mickey Stines was arrested after surrendering to police. The shooting occurred in the judge’s chambers about 3 p.m. Stines allegedly walked into the judge’s outer office, told court employees and others gathered he needed to speak with Mullins alone. The two then went into the inner office, closed the door and those outside heard shots. Stines walked out with his hands up and surrendered to police. He was handcuffed in the foyer of the courthouse, the newspaper reported. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted Thursday at 11:44 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:44 PM Was the sheriff an immigrant who mistook the judge for a tasty looking cat or dog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
