KENTUCKY...
A Floyd County man who allegedly attempted to rob the BB&T bank in Prestonsburg on May 19 could face life in prison after being charged with using and carrying a firearm during a violent offense. Jonathan Hall, 49, was indicted in U.S. District Court in Pikeville on June 17, on charges of attempted bank robbery and using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a violent offense. Hall faces not more than 20 years of imprisonment, a $250,000 fine and not more than three years of supervised release on the charge of attempted bank robbery. He also faces additional time for crimes commited during the robbery. The court has ordered that Hall undergo a psychiatric evaluation after finding reasonable cause to believe that he may be suffering from a mental disease or defect that renders him mentally incompetent. The evaluation was ordered on June 2. Hall is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges in U.S. District Court in Pikeville on August 2.
