Mugshot of Roney McKinney, who was taken to the Marion County Detention Center pending his return to Woodford County for warrants containing 29 charges.
SPRINGFIELD, Ky. (KT) – A man who is facing numerous charges in Woodford County, was taken into custody by deputies with the Washington County Sheriff’s Department on Tuesday.
According to the Sheriff’s Department, while conducting routine patrol on Tablow Road in Willisburg, Deputy Ian Justice observed and stopped a vehicle being operated by Roney McKinney, 49, of Versailles, Kentucky. During the investigation, Deputy Justice discovered McKinney was wanted on seven active warrants issued by Woodford County.
The warrants included a combination of indictment warrants and bench warrants involving numerous felony offenses and probation violations. Collectively, the warrants contained twenty-nine total charges, including allegations of receiving stolen property, persistent felony offender offenses, burglary-related charges, criminal possession of forged instruments, fraudulent use of credit cards, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and probation violations.
Deputy Justice, assisted by Deputy John Spaulding, took McKinney into custody without incident. McKinney is currently lodged in custody at Marion County Detention Center and will be held to answer the charges in Woodford County.
“Our Washington County Sheriff Deputies cannot know who they may encounter during the course of a shift, but remaining vigilant and actively patrolling our communities helps identify individuals who are wanted by the courts and keeps criminals from using Washington County as a place to avoid accountability,” said Sheriff Jerey Ponlston said in a Facebook post. “We are committed to keeping our roads, neighborhoods, and communities safe for our citizens.”
No word yet on when McKinney will be returned to Woodford County.
