Grand jury indicts Childress for murder

A Whitley County Grand Jury indicted a Williamsburg man Monday morning for murder in connection with the vehicular death of a Williamsburg man, who was run over while walking his dog along a sidewalk last month.

The grand jury charged Adam David Childress, 31, with murder, leaving the scene of an accident and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence in connection with the April 13 death of Richard Perkins.

Childress was not transported to court Monday.

Whitley Circuit Judge Paul Winchester scheduled a June 20 arraignment for Childress.
