Fayette County Man Suspected Of Stealing Marriage Licenses
KENTUCKY...
A grand jury has accused a Lexington man of taking 149 marriage licenses from the Fayette County clerk's office. Indicted on four counts of tampering with public records is 51-year-old William Bush Jr. Police said last year they recovered more than 1,000 licenses from six counties at the homes of Bush's daughter and mother.
Court records say the four counts in Fayette County against Bush stem from an incident or incidents last July. His arraignment is scheduled for May 7. Bush told police he was a contract worker for Pro Data Research of Burlington, N.C., and that he gathered information from public documents for the company, which sells mortgage insurance. One police officer speculated at the time that perhaps Bush didn't want to pay copying fees charged by the clerks' offices.
