Former Big Sandy Administrator Enters Blind Plea
KENTUCKY....
Henry "Butch" Williams, 54, the former administrator of the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center, entered a blind plea Friday in Johnson County Circuit Court to charges of abuse of public trust and official misconduct. In May, Williams was indicted on charges he accepted a bribe from an inmate in January 2009. Williams could face up to five years in prison when sentenced February 18th. A blind plea is a guilty plea made by a criminal defendant when they have not entered a plea agreement and do not know the punishment the judge will impose.
