CYNTHIANA / HARRISON
A Harrison County High School student was killed and another was injured in a Monday afternoon crash near Falmouth.  The driver, Bradlee Beagle (18) was taken to the Cincinnati hospital with chest injuries, while passenger Darin Williams (18) was flown to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, Peoples said. The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that a hospital spokeswoman said there was no patient by that name Tuesday. Pendleton County Sheriff Craig Peoples stated that a vehicle had stopped in the roadway to allow for a dog to cross, when Beagle's vehicle came up from behind; Beagle swerved to miss the stopped vehicle, his vehicle left the roadway, came back onto the road, went out of control and slid sideways. It then went over an embankment and rolled several times, Peoples said.

Former U.S. Senate candidate Matt Bevin has filed to run in the Republican primary for Kentucky governor. Bevin, a Louisville businessman, said in a statement Tuesday that his running mate, Jenean Hampton, would be the first black female lieutenant governor in Kentucky history. Hampton served in the U.S. military, including a tour of duty in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. The tea party-backed Bevin lost last year's primary to incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell. Candidates have until 4 p.m. to file for one of six statewide offices that are on the ballot in 2015.

Alison Lundergan Grimes filed for re-election as Kentucky secretary of state, ending months of speculation about the former Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate's political plans for 2015. Grimes spent more than $18 million in 2014 trying to unseat the now-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in a race that garnered her national attention.

Former Morgan County Judge-Executive Tim Conley tearfully begged for mercy before being sentenced to more than seven years in prison on Tuesday, for collecting more than $100,000 in a kickback scheme that continued after his Appalachian county was hit by a tornado. U.S. District Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove sentenced Conley to seven years and three months in prison for soliciting and accepting the kickbacks from a bridge contractor. That was at the top of federal sentencing guidelines. Prosecutors urged a sentence of 11 years and four months.
The 2012 tornado killed six people in Morgan County. They were among 25 who died in an outbreak of twisters statewide.
