A former Bell-Whitley Head Start teacher, who allegedly bit and spanked a 15-month-old student in August, has pled guilty to amended charges.

Whitley County High School Athletic Director Mike Campbell is now free on bond after spending 47 nights behind bars in the Baltimore City Detention Center.

Local officials are unsure exactly what caused a single vehicle crash that killed a Tennessee woman in southern Whitley County Saturday afternoon.

Nine police officers took to the streets Tuesday morning as part of "Operation Pain Killer" in an attempt to arrest 15 people suspected of drug trafficking.

A mother, father and their two-year-old son were found dead in their vehicle late Saturday morning in Jellico Creek.

After he gunned down his teenage daughter's boyfriend in 2012, William "Bill" Cox told 9-1-1 dispatchers that "I'm going to prison over this but it's worth it." Late Thursday night, Cox found out just how long that prison sentence would be.

"I'll go to prison over this, but it's worth it," William Cox allegedly told 9-1-1 dispatchers after shooting Ryan Abner, 21, on Aug. 20, 2012, with a .40 caliber Glock handgun near his driveway in Corbin.

Whitley County High School's Athletic Director Michael Campbell has been placed on an unpaid leave of absence following his arrest last month in Baltimore, Maryland, on sex and assault related charges.

If the police show up banging on your door and say they have an arrest warrant, then it is generally a good idea to go answer the door even if you know they aren't looking for you.

Whitley County will soon have a new 911 director.
