A Lebanon man has been arrested and charged with unlawful transaction with a minor after he admitted to police that he had been smoking marijuana with minors.

Miguel Andres, 18, of 5169 Highway 1157 was arrested at 10:29 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23.

According to Andres' arrest citation, Campbellsville Police Officer Andy Warren approached his vehicle, which was parked behind the Campbellsville Water Co., and smelled marijuana.

The citation states that a search of Andres' vehicle found several suspected marijuana seeds in the rear floorboard.

The power went off at around 4 a.m. Tuesday morning, and Susie Skeels immediately began to worry.

Her husband, Lucien, who is on dialysis, also uses an oxygen machine to help him breathe. No electricity for extended periods can put Mr. Skeels at risk.

So, she called the power company and the lights were on again at their Saloma Road home in short order.

"But it only stayed on for about five minutes," Mrs. Skeels said.

Two Campbellsville men may receive three-year sentences on criminal mischief charges.

John David Smith, 31, of 801 N. Columbia Ave. and William Brandon Smith, 25, of 143 Eastport Road appeared before Taylor Circuit Court Judge Doughlas M. George on Tuesday, Jan. 20 during regular motion hour proceedings.

The defendants each pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal mischief.

John Smith also pleaded guilty to giving an officer a false name or address. He was sentenced to a year's probation on that charge.

Campbellsville University's Lady Tigers out-scored the University of the Cumberlands 15-6 in overtime to move into first place in the Mid-South Conference race with a 79-71 triumph in the Powell Athletic Center on Thursday night.

The Lady Tigers (19-3 overall and 4-0 in the conference race) led by three (64-61) before Madison Flowers was fouled and hit three charity tosses with 2.1 seconds left in regulation.

But Whitney Ballinger and Courtney Danis helped CU dominate the five-minute extra period to chalk up its eighth straight win.
