Five Pulaski Countians indicted in alleged bribery case Commonwealth's Attorney brought police into case when initially approached with the scheme From the office of the Kentucky Attorney General Attorney General Jack Conway and his Office of Special Prosecutions today announced the indictment of five defendants by a Pulaski County grand jury in connection with a plot to allegedly bribe the Commonwealth's attorney for Pulaski County. Sixty-four-year-old Everett Hyden, 63-year-old Noble Hampton, 44-year-old Virginia "Carol" Hampton, 62-year-old Walter Creekmore and 44-year-old Darmus "Bubby" Dalton were indicted on one count each of complicity to bribe a public servant. The charge carries up to 10 years in prison for each defendant. The grand jury additionally indicted Dalton for being a persistent felony offender. Dalton faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. The indictment and related documents filed in Pulaski Circuit Court allege that the five acted together between May 18 and June 10 of this year to collect and deliver $20,000 to the Commonwealth's attorney as a bribe to secure the release of a twice-convicted narcotics trafficker. Upon being initially approached, Eddy Montgomery, Commonwealth's attorney for the 28th Judicial District, immediately notified police, who began a covert investigation. Somerset Police Department investigated the case. The Attorney General's Office of Special Prosecutions is prosecuting the defendants because the local prosecutor is a witness in the case. An indictment is an accusation only. All defendants are presumed innocent. This story was posted on 2010-07-07 16:18:29
