Murder trial witnesses testify Prosecution’s case continues By BRAD DICKERSON Glasgow Daily Times GLASGOW — The events of Oct. 18 and 19 were recalled for jurors on the second day of a Barren County murder trial.
William R. “Billy” Haynes, 61, of Glasgow, is charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence in connection with the death of Luis Rodriguez, 45, also of Glasgow. The victim’s body was found in the Barren River Lake in Allen County on the morning of Oct. 19. At Haynes’ initial December hearing, Kentucky State Police Detective Chad Winn, the lead investigator, said it is believed that Haynes shot Rodriguez after Rodriguez, along with three accomplices, tried to break into an indoor marijuana-growing site on property owned by Houchens at 2836 Winn School Road. Danielle Neal, 18, testified that she gave Rodriguez and the three accomplices – Rick Driver, 22, Tyler Allen, 17, and Tony “Montana” Allen, 27 – a ride on the night of Oct. 18 following a request from Driver, her boyfriend, after she returned home from her job at Akebono Brake around 11:15 p.m. “Rick asked me if I would give his friends a ride out to the country,” Neal said, adding that no one told her exactly where they were going or why. “I didn’t ask him why they wanted to go, I just gave them a ride,” she said. Neal testified that she was given directions toward the Lucas community in Barren County, but not before being asked to make a stop at Clark’s residence at Hillview Apartments in Glasgow. She said both Clark and Allen went into the apartment and were inside for about 10 minutes, but did not notice if they were carrying anything when they returned. Clark testified that when they stopped at his apartment, he went to get tools for the alleged robbery, including a mask, bags and a handgun. “When you’re going to try to rob somebody, you can’t just go out there empty-handed,” he said. After the detour, Neal said she drove the four out to the Winn School Road area and pulled off to the side. Then, the four said they were getting out of the car and would be right back, she testified, adding that the last she could see of them was as they were heading toward a field. Clark said he had put on his mask before the four got out of Neal’s car. “It seemed like five or six minutes later and I heard gunshots and then I (saw) flashing lights in the air,” Neal said. After hearing what she described as a truck starting up, Neal testified that she hid her car on a side road and turned off the lights. She said she saw what appeared to be a white diesel truck driving along the road.
