KENTON COUNTY, Ky. — A program that provides jail inmates to a variety of Northern Kentucky facilities to perform jobs has come to a screeching halt temporarily. County officials and law enforcement are trying to figure out how to zip up a big loophole.
The review comes after a Kenton County jail inmate working at the animal shelter, recently managed to get his hands on what we’re told was as much as a kilo of cocaine.
Local 12 News Reporter Rich Jaffe says until very recently Kenton County jail inmates helped out with the animals at the Kenton County animal shelter on a regular basis. But there’s an incinerator there which is used to dispose of drugs confiscated during criminal investigations.
