A man who worked in the state garage on Holmes Street has been indicted for pirating and selling DVDs and CDs, prosecutors say.
Commonwealth's Attorney Larry Cleveland said Tommy Hayes, 35, of Shelbyville, was using his computer at the motor pool to produce the illegal copies of first-run movies and was selling them for about $5 a piece.
Hayes had a desk job at the state's T1-Garage and Inventory office and was selling the CDs and DVDs to his co-workers, Cleveland said.
Hayes was being investigated by the Kentucky Bureau of Investigation, which operated out of the state attorney general's office.
Hayes was formally charged with unauthorized reproduction and distribution of a recorded article or device for sale or rent, a class D felony.
The Franklin County grand jury on Wednesday also indicted a Frankfort couple for receiving stolen property after a stolen pickup wound up in their driveway, prosecutors said.
Mitchell R. Engler, 52, 3672 St. John Road, and his wife, April Engler, 56, had a black 1991 GMC pickup registered to an ownerfrom Bereain their possession, according to prosecutors.
Cleveland said state police asked the Englers in March about the truck parked in front of their house.
Cleveland said the Englers maintainedto investigators they didn't know anything about it and someone else must have recently parked it there.
The problem, Cleveland said, was that it had been snowing for three days and there was snow on the ground around the vehicle. Police saw no tracks indicating the truck had recently moved, Cleveland said.
The Englers are charged with receiving stolen property valued at $300 or more, a Class D felony.
Engler served 10 years in a state prison for first-degree assault, Cleveland said, adding that his wife has no felony convictions.
Teresa T. Stanley, 52, 855 Louisville Road #202, was also indicted possession of drug paraphernalia (second-offense).

Fleet Management has long been known to be a "grave yard" for employees that management were trying to rid themselves of, especially in the Transportation Cabinet days. It appears management hasn't changed with administrations, just some promotions.

People won't work whether in state govt or in a private business. If they are lazy, they will waste the company money or taxpayer money where they go, doesn't matter who it is. There ARE people who work here, we are very busy everyday.
Rangdaddy, we can get on here on our 15 minute break. |

I won't mention her name but she knows who whe is...got the best job in state government...all she does is teach weight watchers classes on state time and shops for clothes and wigs! That's right...wigs! Can you believe it? She only makes about $115,000 a year and thinks she has every retired judge fooled...too bad she doesn't have anyone else fooled! I must say, she's not as smart as she might thinks she is! Kharma rocks!

Johnny B. Goode - I think that all wastefullness by our government - contractor, supplier or employee should be reported to the tax payers.
Government is supported by tax payers - automatically taken from our checks, but the private sector is supported by monies we earn and decide to spend with them. We have a say in our Government (or should) but we can't tell others how to operate their business. When I worked for someone else, I would have been embarrased to do something that was not in the best interest of the business. What has happend to our work ethics? |
