A Campbellsville man is suing Taylor Regional Hospital after he says a shampoo cap the hospital used burned his skin and caused him to lose some of his hair.

The hospital has filed an answer to the man's complaint, denying any negligence and asking that the lawsuit be dismissed.

Lebanon attorney Todd Spalding filed suit on Joseph C. Hughes' behalf in Taylor Circuit Court on Wednesday, March 18.

A Campbellsville resident has been charged with selling cocaine in an indictment recently unsealed by a Taylor Circuit Court judge.

A grand jury may seal an indictment if there is a possibility that the accused will try to evade police.

Tyler Wilson aka James T. Wilson, 25, of High Pine, Apt. 35, was indicted on a charge of first-degree selling cocaine.

Bond was set at 10 percent of $25,000. If convicted, Wilson could be sentenced to as much as 10 years in prison.

- An indictment is a legal accusation only. It does not establish guilt.

The Kentucky Court of Appeals has dismissed an appeal contesting a judge's decision that upheld the results of last May's local option election, which allowed some Campbellsville restaurants to serve alcohol.

According to court records, the appeal was dismissed because the appellants failed to file court documents within the time allowed by state law.

According to KRS 120.075, any party may appeal a judgment within 10 days of that judgment being filed.

Three people were injured early Sunday morning in a one-vehicle collision on Greensburg Road.

According to a Taylor County Sheriff's Office report, Jennifer Lugo, 30, of U.S. 68 in Greensburg was traveling eastbound on U.S. 68 at 1:31 a.m. when she swerved to the right side of the road and struck an embankment.

The report states that Lugo's 1997 Pontiac overturned twice before stopping in a field.

Lugo and her two passengers, her 4- and 6-year old sons, exited the vehicle and got into another car driven by someone else who took them to a home in Campbellsville.
