US Marshalls Shoot Wanted Man
KENTUCKY...
A U.S. marshal shot and killed a wanted man during a search of a Hancock County home.
Sheriff Dale Bozarth says the shooting happened on Friday as marshals were serving a warrant for a drug-related felony out of Indiana.
Kentucky State Police have taken over the investigation. They have not yet named the man who was killed. His body was expected to be autopsied in Louisville.
The home where the shooting happened was rented by 42-year-old Beverly Thienes, who had a previous felony drug conviction in Daviess Circuit Court.
Bozarth said Thienes was being questioned by U.S. marshals. He did not know what charges might be filed against her.
