        Judici.com is full of public records on anyone why has got a SPEEDING TICKET! LMAO This proves nothing. Where’s the arrest? Where’s her mugshot? She’s a federal government employee. This would be all over the REAL news not a little disclosure wannabe of WRUL. They need to follow up with their stories or know the facts before stating them. We have the housing surrounded by cops constantly, anyone ever arrested? NO LMAO That means nothing. “Cops” in Gallatin County are a joke as you are and as WRUL being a “reliable source” of facts and truth. Reveal your name. Stop hiding “Ridgway local” LMAO KEYBOARD WARRIORS!!

          Let me enlighten you Jessica whoever you are hiding behind your keyboard. I know for FACT that this isn’t fake news , it appears you’re poorly educated or you would know how to research judici . Educate yourself before you comment on a topic it’s clearly evident that you don’t know what you’re talking about. Tuck your stupid back in .

          You evidently don’t understand the role of the post office because post masters ARE NOT government officials. Your stupid is showing again

    What about August 15th 2024? Officers were on scene at her home for at least 8 hours causing a delay for Gallatin County schools bus route. Meth is bad. After meth charges from spring 2024 she is STILL being paid by the post office as they let her off on paid leave from the U.S.P.S. I’m no keyboard warrior, I spit facts👌 it’s a shame there’s no longer disclosure because PEOPLE need to know! It’s an outrage and embarrassing for the entire community.

      Looks like the boyfriend is taking the fall. Same thing happened to her other boyfriend out of Shawneetown a few years ago. She plays victim and they do the time.

    She is definitely amazingly convincing at being the victim. The boyfriend hadn’t done anything but drive two hours she had not responded to his calls or texts in two weeks. He

    He showed up and 10mins later Ridgeway’s finest had him surrounded for things falsely told to them on a staged 911 call. Victim she is not.
