Pike County Magistrate Says KACo Charges For Escort Services Don't Look Good
Pike County Magistrate Chris Harris, second vice-president of the Kentucky Association of Counties, says there's obviously something going on concerning two escort service charges on KACo credit cards in separate years. The KACo executive committee is investigating a charge made on May 16,2007 on the card of executive director Bob Arnold in the amount of $270 at the Lexington-based escort service, Campus Cuties, which bills under the name Calypso Enterprises. A $175 charge for Calypso appeared on Spencer County Judge Executive David Jenkins' credit card statement when he was the group's president in 2008. Jenkins and KACo are disputing that charge and others to two Louisville strip clubs, totaling nearly $900. The men say someone else must have made the charges, but Harris says it certainly doesn't look good for the organization.
