Kentucky Jailer Replaced
KENTUCKY...
A central Kentucky jailer has been replaced after the state Department of Corrections determined that long standing leadership issues were jeopardizing the facility. Five-term LaRue County Jailer Ralph "Mac" Trumbo has been replaced with former Grayson County Jailer Joey Stanton. Stanton had been consulting with the county since 2008 about how to improve jail operations. The Corrections Department cited four escapes, complaints about reporting the jail's population and complaints about unsupervised work inmates, inmates driving with suspended licenses and without a supervisor, and inmates accessing prohibited areas. Trumbo blamed his demise on a recent rash of escapes from the facility, but said there were "no hard feelings" about the decision.
