Pulaski County Sheriff Greg Speck reports that a Somerset man was arrested after Deputies responded to reports of an injury motor vehicle accident on Friday evening, October 11, 2019.

At approximately 7:35 pm on Friday, Sergeant Kyle Wilson was dispatched to a 911 call of a two vehicle accident in the 2500 block of Highway 192, two and a half miles east of Somerset, Kentucky.

Upon arrival at the scene, Sergeant Wilson learned that the driver of one of the vehicles had left the scene of the accident.

Investigation of the accident by Sgt. Wilson revealed that James A. Tomlinson, age 44 of Robert Meece Road, Somerset, Kentucky was eastbound on Highway 192 in a blue 2010 Dodge utility vehicle.  Allegedly, Mr. Tomlinson crossed the centerline striking a westbound white 2008 Ford passenger car operated by Roy Acton, age 37 of East Mt. Vernon Street, Somerset, Kentucky.

Eyewitnesses at the scene advised Sergeant Wilson that Mr. Tomlinson flagged down traffic and left the area via automobile shortly after the accident.

While the accident scene was being processed, James A. Tomlinson returned to the crash site where he was immediately placed under arrest for leaving the scene of an injury accident. 

Failure of a field sobriety test conducted by Deputy Nathan Meadows led to issuance of a search warrant for a blood sample of Mr. Tomlinson.

Neither driver required medical treatment.  However, a juvenile female passenger in the vehicle operated by Mr. Acton was transported to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the accident.

James A. Tomlinson was lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center charged with:

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Stephen Ushery, Jr., of Cincinnati, was sentenced Wednesday to 130 months in federal prison, by United States District Judge Robert E. Wier, for conspiracy to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin. 

The conviction followed a two and a half year investigation that established Ushery as a drug supplier, who traveled from his home in Cincinnati to distribute multi-ounce quantities of heroin to several other local drug dealers in the Pulaski County area. In his plea agreement, Ushery admitted that between 2015 and 2018, he was responsible for distributing over one kilogram of heroin into the Eastern District of Kentucky. Ushery’s heroin distribution conspiracy ended in September of 2018, when law enforcement arrested him and raided the apartment he was using as his base of drug distribution in Somerset, finding nearly 50 grams of heroin and over $5,000 in drug proceeds. 

Several of Ushery’s co-conspirators have also been sentenced in connection with their heroin trafficking activities, including Chad Puchalski (sentenced to 180 months), Sonie Meatchem, Jr. (sentenced to 70 months), Diana Chiree Sullivan (47 months), Samantha Pointer (39 months), Kimberly Ann Sweeten (33 months), and Tyler Hargis (20 months). 

Under federal law, Ushery must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence and will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for five years following his release. 

“Combatting the trafficking of dangerous drugs, particularly heroin, is a fundamental priority for our Office,” said United States Attorney Robert M. Duncan, Jr. “The defendant’s transportation and distribution of significant quantities of heroin adversely impacted the lives of many in the Pulaski County area. I commend the work of the federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies involved in helping hold this defendant, and his co-defendants, accountable for their actions.”
