May 22, 2024 at 2:51 pmJudici.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!!

August 20, 2024 at 3:53 pmLet 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 .

August 20, 2024 at 4:02 pmYou evidently don’t understand the role of the post office because post masters ARE NOT government officials. Your stupid is showing again

August 16, 2024 at 11:48 amWhat 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.

August 22, 2024 at 1:51 pmLooks 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.
He a fall guy
August 29, 2024 at 6:56 amShe 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 is not a fall guy
August 29, 2024 at 7:04 amHe 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.

September 17, 2024 at 4:48 pmSo Kelli is definitely up to old tricks with new levels of Narcisism!! The “Boyfriend” definitely was set up to take a fall. That whole fiasco at the post office where she was photographed passed out from meth psychosis( which is common with an addict) she is telling anyone that will listen the boyfriend planted the drugs and pipe in her car. Moving on to the alleged stand off at her house that tied traffic up. She somehow s***ered the guy into driving two hours at 2a.m to come check on her. The guy had felt something was off and wasn’t pursuing the relationship any further according to his family. But he had to know if she was safe. Once he saw she was ok he went to leave. It was to late. She had already placed a call to 911 falsely claiming she was being kidnapped and held at gunpoint. Total bulls*** lies. That guy was a martial arts instructor that had all kinds of training weapons in the car(two rubber guns) . He had just sold some gear and tactical knives to a friend before choosing to come check on Kelli according to his dad and sister. Just bad luck with the lies she had told the police. He had no other motive than to have piece of mind she was safe for his visit. His sister claims Kelli had not responded to any form of communication he tried for over three weeks. He couldn’t take thinking she may be hurt or worse according to his family . Over 20 officers including SWAT Swarmed the house.
He was arrested and charged with KIDNAPPING, FALSE IMPRISONMENT, DOMESTIC BATTERY, DISORDELY CONDUCT, AND SOME HOW METH WAS MYSTERIOUSLY FOUND IN HIS CAR. I checked personally and this guy has never had as so much as a speeding ticket in the last 15yrs!! His family told me he was kept in jail an extra week because he asked for a lawyer and he lost his $80,000yr job over the ordeal. People when is someone going to see through her fabricated stories, excuses, lies, and tearful Emmy worthy victim acting sessions??? She allegedly permanently really impacted that guys life NEGATIVELY!!!! I’m order to possibly get the spotlight off of her for the meth found in her carbshe absolutely took advantage of this guys feelings and preyed on him. He is now jobless, facing some very severe and serious charges, spent 12 days in jail, had an order of protection slapped on him, paid over $600 to get his car back, and his family told me with tears in their eyes his dad had just killed himself before this happened! That is one he’ll of an expensive welfare check he provided.
