Johnson County Constable Resigns
KENTUCKY....
Johnson County constable Terry Eugene Ward pleaded guilty to four counts of doctor shopping Friday and was given a three year probated sentence and the choice of 90 days in jail or rehab. Ward agreed to serve 90 days in rehab. In April, officials with the Attorney General's office arrested him, claiming he illegally obtained HydroCodone from a local emergency room while being sworn to uphold the law. Ward, who has resigned as constable, is now ineligible to hold public office. He won his primary race in May.
