Former Pike County Funeral Director Faces New Charges
Richard Justice, a former Pike County funeral home director, accused of taking more than $80,000 in pre-paid funeral arrangements, is in legal trouble again.
Justice was arrested in Pikeville last week for allegedly driving without a license plate and was also charged with driving under the influence.
He is facing one count of acting as a funeral director without a license and 24 other fraud charges, and is expected to go on trial in May. He could face 20 years in prison if convicted.
