From the News Edge: Transportation officials are reporting a traffic backup along the westbound lanes of I-24 in the work zone from near the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line to the Fort Campbell Boulevard exit. The contractor is pouring concrete as part of ongoing pavement rehabilitation work around the 89-mile marker, near the Pembroke-Oak Grove exit. While concrete trucks are moving in and out of this work area delivering material, the traffic backup appears to be more related to heavy traffic along the westbound lanes today. Westbound I-24 traffic in this work zone is backed up about 3 to 4 miles at this time with traffic slowed to about 35 mph in the area. To help reduce traffic congestion in this area, regular commuters who normally travel this section of I-24 westbound are being asked to seek an alternate route, if possible...............................................................................................................................A Night With The Blues is Saturday night at the Alhambra Theatre.

Deal Finally Reached In Case Against Constable



The Christian County Constable accused of stealing a golf cart will not lose his position since he plead to misdemeanor charge Friday morning.  Christian County Attorney Mike Foster says if Mark Graham had plead or been convicted of the original felony charge, he would no longer be able to serve, but that is not the case with a misdemeanor charge.

However, Graham will have to pay restitution and serve probation after pleading guilty to receiving stolen property.  Graham, the Fifth District Constable, appeared before Judge John Atkins, and despite previous misgivings about entering a guilty plea on the record, agreed to the plea deal offered by special prosecutor, Ralph Vick.


   
Those conditions include paying restitution to Doctor Craig Allen and court costs. Graham was originally facing a charge of knowingly receiving stolen property over 500 dollars, but Vick says the value was determined to be less than 500 dollars making it a misdemeanor.
