Kentucky Sheriff Shawn Stines has been indicted by a grand jury on one count of murder of a public official in the death of his longtime colleague, District Judge Kevin Mullins.
Stines, 43, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder after authorities said he shot his longtime colleague, District Judge Kevin Mullins, 54, multiple times on Sept. 19 in an attack caught on surveillance footage.

Stines pleaded not guilty on Sept. 25. He formally resigned as sheriff at the end of September after receiving a letter from Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Kentucky General Counsel S. Travis Mayo urged him to do so. He is being held two counties away at Leslie County Jail, police said.
