Scott R. Goble of Corinth is facing numerous charges following a high-speed chase that led police through two counties on Aug. 10.
Harrison County Sheriff’s Deputy Joe Daniel was dispatched to Joe’s Place on KY 36 just a few miles west of Cynthiana at Poindexter around 2:30 p.m.
The initial call was for a stolen vehicle.
While Daniel was taking a statement from the victim, the stolen truck peeled out and headed toward Junction Pike where the driver turned and then pulled onto Lafferty Pike toward Colemansville and back to KY 36.

Site work is well underway for three hotels and three restaurants in Dry Ridge.
The land being developed is located on Ferguson Boulevard behind Wal-Mart.
The developer, Om Laxmi Narayan, LLC, plans to initially construct a three-story, 79-suite Comfort Suites hotel that could open in late summer 2018.

Stage Right will host an educational workshop from 3:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays beginning Aug. 29 at the Grant County High School auditorium. The workshop is open to the first 50 students who register.
The performances are Oct. 6, Oct. 7 and Oct. 8 in the GCHS Auditorium.
The show is “Once Upon a Mattress”, which is the story of the princess and the pea.  The program offers a chance to work with professional instructors who are working in theatre and the opportunity to learn not just acting but about all aspects of the theatre.  

Former Randall K. Cooper High School history teacher Derek Weimer, 45, of Florence told The Enquirer in an interview that he was probably the closest to James Alex Fields Jr. out of everyone on the faculty.
“I’m sure if you would ask James he would say I was his favorite or one of his favorite teachers,” said Weimer, adding that he had Fields in three classes directly and had regular interaction with him after classes and during free time.
