A Campbellsville resident charged with kidnapping and assaulting a girlfriend has pleaded guilty to charges against him.

Brandon Keith Cox, 25, of 311 Taylor Blvd. and co-defendant Catina R. Brockman, 34, of 109 Candace St. appeared before Taylor Circuit Court Judge Doughlas M. George on Tuesday, April 8.

Cox and Brockman were indicted by a Taylor County grand jury last July on charges stemming from an alleged kidnapping incident.

At the moment, the pantry has about $4,000 dollars on hand, said Taylor County Ministerial Association President Michael Goodwin. The ministerial association oversees the pantry.

With an average weekly expense of $1,000, Goodwin said, there is only enough money to provide food to the needy for one more month.
