Two Longtime Perry County Officials Plead Not Guilty
Former Perry County Judge Executive, 68 year old Sherman Neace and former Perry County Circuit Clerk, 65 year old Chester Jones, have pleaded not guilty in federal court in London after being charged with vote-buying in last November's election. They,re accused of diverting $7,500 from the state Democratic Party to use it when Jones was running for a seat on the county school board and Neace was running for magistrate. The trial is scheduled for September 14th., but attorneys say they will be unavailable on that date, so it may be re-scheduled.
