Adam David Childress, 31, is charged with murder, driving while under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident in the April 13 death of Richard E. Perkins. Shortly before 6 p.m., Childress allegedly drove up on the sidewalk along US25W near Town Hill where he traveled for about 150 feet before running over Perkins, 53, and then left the scene of the accident. About 10 minutes later, Childress wrecked again on Ky. 92E. Prior to the crash, Childress had allegedly been drinking at VFW Post 3167, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Perkins Estate against Childress and the VFW Post. Williamsburg Police Sgt. Brandon White, who is the investigating officer, presented the case to the Whitley County Grand Jury Monday morning, Williamsburg Police Chief Wayne Bird confirmed. A report from the Kentucky State Police Southeastern Laboratory Branch in London, which was filed in the criminal case Friday, indicates that Childress had a blood alcohol level of 0.30 when his blood was taken at Baptist Health Corbin at 7:38 p.m. on April 13. A person is considered legally intoxicated in all states with a blood alcohol level of 0.08, according to the Governor’s Highway Safety Association. According to the Clemson Redfern Health Center website at Clemson University, someone with a blood alcohol content of 0.30 is probably in a stupor and has little comprehension of where they are or what’s really going on around them. They may suddenly pass out and be difficult to awaken. According to the University of Rochester’s website, a person with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.30 – 0.39 may have severe depression, unconsciousness and possible death. Childress attorney, John Blevins, declined to comment on the report. Childress blood sample has been forwarded onto the Central Forensic Laboratory Toxicology Section for further analysis, Forensic Scientist Specialist II Brittney Givens wrote in the report. Toxicology testing will determine whether there were any drugs in Childress’ blood system at the time the blood sample was taken. Childress has a history of past drug usage. Childress went to rehabilitation in 2007 after an arrest in connection with forged checks. The charges were later dismissed. In 2010, Williamsburg police arrested Childress for public intoxication after he was found with fresh track marks on both arms. He allegedly admitted that he had been shooting up Roxicet, according to his arrest citation. The charge was later dismissed for unknown reasons. Childress is currently being held in the Laurel County Detention Center in lieu of a $250,000 fully secured bond. Childress, who formerly worked at the Whitley County Detention Center for about two and one-half years, was transferred to Laurel County due to security concerns. He resigned from the Whitley County Detention Center on Dec. 15, 2014, after a supervisor confronted him with reports from other employees, who thought he was under the influence while at work the prior day, according to Whitley County Jailer Brian Lawson. Lawson wasn’t jailer at the time Childress worked at the jail.
