Noon-ish News Update

Followup to the home invasion story mentioned earlier this morning:

At least one arrest has been made in connection to the home invasion that took place shortly after 12:30am this morning near Monroe Road, just off of US 27 South.

According to a police citation obtained by WLEX, Raven B. Edwards (27) used social media to establish a meeting with the homeowner–[WLEX does not allude to the intended nature of the meeting]. Shortly after Edwards’ arrival and invitation into the residence, her boyfriend, Marcus Gross and a [presently] unnamed male subject entered the home, and began to assault the homeowner. [A previous report by WLEX stated that the altercation took place in the homeowner’s bedroom.] During the struggle, the homeowner managed to locate a firearm and shoot one of the men. The homeowner was apparently injured during the incident, though extent of injuries has not been reported.

Edwards has admitted to knowing that a robbery would take place shortly after her arrival.

According to reports, investigators are continuing to search for the second male subject.

Edwards is currently in custody at the Bourbon County Detention Center and is charged with Robbery 1st Degree and Burglary 1st Degree.

Morning News

…meh. This is the kinda stuff I’m thinking about putting into my podcast, if I can get it off the ground…

CYNTHIANA / HARRISON
The resident of a Harrison County home shot and killed an intruder during a home invasion early Monday morning. Deputies say two men entered the home on Monroe Road, just off US-27, around 12:30 a.m., and there was a struggle in the bedroom. During the altercation, a resident of the home shot one of the intruders. Deputies say a short time later, the suspect showed up at Harrison Memorial Hospital where he died.
 
The Cynthiana City Commission convenes in a special meeting this afternoon at 4PM. Numerous members of the community are concerned about this meeting as an answer to the fate of the Handy House, or Ridgeway, may be announced. The Harrison County Fiscal Court had already voted for the structure’s demolition earlier this year.

This year has set a few different milestones in UK history–such as this year’s class having over 5,000 freshman, and overall enrollment being 30,000 strong; but the oddest new milestone reached is having 113 twins in their undergrad class. UK spokesman Jay Blanton says of this latest trend, “The numbers of twins, triplets and quadruplets on our campus reflects our continued growth and the fact that more families and students view UK as a first choice for their education.”

FYI…this may impact those of us who help others in an emergency. Without judging the particulars in the case, it should serve as notice to only do what you are trained, or can physically do. Also, the legal system in KY is a *little* different than CA.

As a Tower Consultant and fellow Tower Dog myself….I thought this might interest some of on here.
*NBC’s “Dateline Presents”* says it will take “a never-before-seen journey into the hazardous world of the tower climbers who work on the front lines of America’s high-tech communications system.”
*The program, “Tower Dogs,” will air on Monday, July 21 at 10:00 PM/ET.
* The hour-long broadcast is expected to give an up close and personal no-holds-barred look at tower dogs’ lives – up in the air and on the ground.

A Magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit Sichuan, China on Monday, May 12,
2008 at 06:28:04 UTC. Casualties and loss unknown up to now. According to
Chinese Radio Sports Association, 14.270, 7.050 and 7.060 MHz are reserved
for amateur radio emergency service in the rescue.
A group of radio amateurs is now transmitting from Wenchuan, the center of
quake. Their signal is reported to be very weak. They tried to keep
communication with BY8AA in Chengdu, seeking for all resources needed. During
a contact finished a few minutes ago, they were asking for raincoats, water,
tents, and outdoor living facilities.
Please spread this message as far as you can and keep the frequencies clear
for emergency use. Thank you.
