Crashes keep sheriff's office busy


Staff report
Glasgow Daily Times

Local sheriff’s deputies were busy over the weekend investigating the cause of 10 wrecks, some with injuries.

The sheriff’s department responded to six non-injury wrecks from Friday to Sunday and four injury accidents. There is no one reason why there were so many wrecks over the weekend.

“It goes in spurts like that. We’ll average some months 35 to 45 wrecks and some months we’ll average any where from 65 to 75 wrecks. October may be one of those 65 to 75 wreck months,” said Barren County Sheriff Chris Eaton.

A Glasgow woman was injured in a two-vehicle wreck around 11:30 a.m. Saturday 4.5 miles east on Lick Branch Road.

Sharon K. Young, 32, was treated and released at T.J. Samson Community Hospital for injuries sustained in the wreck.

The collision occurred east of Glasgow when 86-year-old Lou G. Simpson attempted to drive her 2003 Oldsmobile Alero out of her driveway and drove into the path of Young’s eastbound 1999 Mercury Cougar. Young’s car traveled across a ditch, striking an unoccupied parked vehicle in another driveway, according to Trevor Phillips, media relations director for the Barren County Sheriff’s Department.

Simpson was not injured in the wreck, he said.

Deputy Bobby McCown investigated and was assisted by Detective Rusty Anderson, personnel with the Barren-Metcalfe Emergency Medical Service and the East Barren Volunteer Fire Department.

One man was arrested Sunday after wrecking his 1993 Ford Ranger pickup.

Jeffrey D. Perkins, 43, of Glasgow, was charged with DUI (first offense, aggravated circumstances), possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in motor vehicle prohibited, failure of owner to maintain required insurance, complicity to manufacture methamphetamine and unlawful possession of a meth precursor, Phillips said.

Perkins was lodged in the Barren County Correction Center. No bond has been set for Perkins. He is scheduled to appear in Barren District Court later today, according to jail personnel.

The wreck occurred around 7 p.m. about 10 miles northeast of Glasgow on Coral Hill Halfway Road. Perkins was eastbound when he lost control of his truck causing it to travel off the right side of the road, overturned and then re-entered the road coming to rest on all four wheels.

Paraphernalia used to manufacture meth were found in the vehicle, Phillips said.

Perkins was treated and released at T.J. Samson Community Hospital.

Deputy Adam Minor investigated the wreck scene. Also responding to the crash were personnel with the Barren-Metcalfe Emergency Medical Service and the Hiseville Volunteer Fire Department.
