Newspaper Editor Resigns
KENTUCKY...
The managing editor of the Bowling Green Daily News has resigned after being charged with driving under the influence on federal property. The paper reported that 50-year-old Mike Alexieff resigned Monday, two days after being cited for DUI and other charges. A Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife officer cited Alexieff on Saturday on federal property on Mammoth Cave Parkway. Publisher Pipes Gaines says Alexieff's resignation was effective immediately. Alexieff, who started at the Daily News in 2001, took a tough stance on publishing the DUIs of public officials, once promising that if he were arrested for DUI, it would be published. Alexieff's first court date has not been set.
