A Louisville man was arrested Sept. 28 and charged with DUI after the vehicle he was driving collided with two houses outside Milton.

Mark Jeffery, 36, was arrested shortly after the collision that damaged two homes in the 9900 block of Hwy. 421 North.

According to Milton Fire & Rescue Assistant Chief Jason Long, a 1999 Buick Lasabre crashed into the two homes, “running through the garage” of one, after Jeffrey lost control of the car just before 3 a.m. Sunday.

Ladders, hammers and paintbrushes in tow, volunteers are expected to be scattered throughout the area Saturday, Sept. 27 for the annual Trimble County Repair Affair.

Since the program began in 2002, men, women and children from Trimble County and the surrounding area have pitched in to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate by making much needed repairs and modifications to their homes. With a little luck, this year will be no different.

A home on King’s Ridge was a total loss following a fire that took four volunteer fire companies eight hours to battle a week ago.

The home of Garland Breeden at 3095 Kings Ridge Road was the scene of a fire that may have started as a result of storm damage, according to Clyde Rowlett, Westside Fire Chief.  “Wires were pulled loose during last weeks wind storm and may have started the fire.”

The Trimble County Sheriff’s Department and Kentucky State Police are looking for anyone who may have information related to a recent sexual assault.

Anyone who may have seen a pedestrian or a truck stopped alongside U.S. 42 at Bedford Hill from 9-10:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19, is asked to contact KSP at (800) 222-5555 or Sheriff Tim Coons at (502) 255-7138 with their information.
