Ex-boyfriend goes on rampage

Update to the post BREAKING NEWS: Arrest made at Hillside Apartments following apparent domestic violence.
Firefighters Joey Nelson, left, and Lancer Mastin share information and prayer before Mastin goes inside the smoke-filled Hillside apartment, where a mattress had been set on fire. Nelson had just come out of the building.
Becky Barnes follows up the initial story with better detail for this week’s edition of The Cynthiana Democrat.
Full story is available at
