As Letcher County mourns the former District Judge Kevin Mullins, Kentucky’s Attorney General has released a statement today regarding the bizarre incident, and the future of sheriff Shawn Stines, who is accused of shooting Mullins in his chambers.
Coleman said, “Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines will be arraigned in Letcher County District Court on Wednesday, September 25 at 11am. He will appear virtually before a special judge.
Together with Commonwealth’s Attorney Jackie Steele, we will continue to pursue justice.”
Although there is much speculation that this incident was somehow connected to a case involving a Letcher County deputies, gross misconduct, it is purely speculation. There have been no official statements, released as to why the shooting occurred.
This is a developing story.
