A Kentucky sheriff shot and killed a local judge last month after seeing his teenage daughter’s number on the judge’s phone, according to court testimony Tuesday.
Police say Letcher County Sheriff Mickey Stines dialed his daughter’s number from District Judge Kevin Mullins’ phone, then pulled his gun and shot Mullins repeatedly inside his own chambers in the city of Whitesburg on Sept. 19.
Stines and Mullins were longtime co-workers and friends. Police did not explain during the preliminary hearing the significance of the daughter’s number on the judge’s phone.
