Parole Officer

STANFORD - Elizabeth Hill, on shock probation for stealing more than a quarter-million dollars from the Lincoln County Industrial Authority, will not return to prison despite her second, and seemingly final, warning from a circuit court judge to obey the conditions of her probation. Hill appeared in court Friday to again answer allegations of parole violations, namely having dinner with her children outside of Lincoln County. She was allowed to be out of the county only one hour before and after working at her husband's used car lot on Stanford Road in Boyle County.

LANCASTER - Sentencing was held in Garrard County Circuit Court on Friday for Jeremy Decker, 21, of Kennedy Bridge Road. Decker previously pleaded guilty to second degree rape, sexual misconduct and unlawful transaction with a minor (second and third degree). Decker was sentenced to serve 60 days of his two-year sentence in the Lincoln County Regional Jail, with the balance probated. He was fined a total of $620.50. According to court reports, in June of 2002, Decker was 18 years old and knowingly engaged in sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old minor.
