CYNTHIANA / HARRISON

A Harrison County grand jury indicted a Cynthiana man on charges of sexually abusing a child on four occasions; the first allegedly happening 35 years ago. William "Billy" Hyatt, 57, was arrested Wednesday by the Harrison County Sheriff's Department after a state police investigation. Tuesday's indictment said Hyatt had sexually abused a child younger than 12 on four occasions between 1979 and 1981. Kentucky State Police said the investigation is ongoing. Hyatt's $5,000 bond was paid before he could be lodged in the Bourbon County jail, according to a state police spokeswoman.

Kentucky State Police say that anyone with information about this case, or other similar cases, should contact the nearest state police post.

KENTUCKY

The deadline to enroll in coverage through kynect is midnight, Sunday, Feb. 15. Individuals who need health insurance are encouraged to log on to kynect or contact an insurance agent or kynector to see their options for quality, affordable health coverage in 2015 before the Feb. 15 deadline passes. Medicaid enrollment is open at any time. Individuals with income above 100 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) who fail to enroll in healthcare coverage before Feb. 15 will be subject to an IRS penalty, including those whose income falls between 100%-138% FPL and are eligible for the Medicaid expansion. Individuals whose income falls below 100 percent FPL are not subject to the penalty. The 2015 IRS penalty is $325 per person or 2 percent of household income, whichever is greater. If an individual is uninsured for more than nine months in 2015, the penalty will be deducted from their refund when they file the 2014 tax returns. In many cases, this penalty could exceed the annual cost of insurance.

Jay Whitehead is continuing to march forward in his attempts to re-open Forest Hill Military Academy, Kentucky's only military school. Whitehead--the school's headmaster--hopes to revive the 121-year-old institution in the wake of sex-abuse charges, receivership, debt, buildings shut down for safety concerns, and alleged interference from the school's former leadership. For now, the 18-acre campus in northern Bourbon County lies dormant as the college-prep school has temporarily closed. Whitehead hoped to reopen the boarding school in time for the fall of 2015, under the revived name of Millersburg Military Institute.

"I would say the fall of '15 would be optimistic," Henry Watson--an attorney appointed to oversee charitable donations--said. "I just don't know how much demand there is out there for children to want to leave home and come to a military boarding school. I would say 2015 would be extremely optimistic."

Meanwhile, Whitehead is advertising military adventure camps to be held this summer. The camps, which cost $2,400 for two weeks, have drawn more than 200 students from Asia, Africa and Europe as well as the United States. Eighty percent of the school's revenue comes from those camps, Whitehead said.

Mark Posey is no longer serving as Falmouth's chief of police, amid an investigation into his use of city funds. Posey and the city of Falmouth mutually agreed to end his employment as police chief effective at the close of business Friday. Posey, whom was placed on paid suspension on Jan. 29, was served with papers Monday outlining two charges against him. One charge involved the unauthorized sale of six service revolvers when the department bought new weapons. The other charge involves failing to account for $4,000 in city funds advanced for confidential drug buys over a three-year period. An administrative hearing scheduled for Thursday night was canceled at the request of Posey and his attorney.

Several crews worked to put out a fire Saturday afternoon at a the Knight's Inn on Paris Pike in Georgetown. Firefighters say the blaze was contained to one room, which was vacant at the time. That room is now a total loss. The building had to be shut down for inspection, and several people who were staying there have been forced to leave. It's unclear what caused the fire, but firefighters don't believe it was suspicious. No injures were reported.
