The state senator that represents Hopkins County and three other counties is being honored by the Kentucky Association of Counties for his work during this year’s Legislative Session.  Robby Mills of Henderson has held elective office in the Commonwealth since 2017.

The Madisonville woman who assaulted a police officer at 4 o’clock Monday morning is also charged with domestic violence and terroristic threatening.  Shametrius Johnson was arrested at a home on Celeste Lane.  As Johnson was being driven to jail, she kicked an officer and tried to kick out the back window of the police cruiser.

It’s believed that persons who visit the Madisonville-Hopkins County Sportsplex when it opens will wish it had been there where they were growing up.  That’s the feeling of T-J Phaup. The sportsplex is around 3 to 4 weeks from opening day.

The Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office has this property tax note to pass along.  To be helpful,  the TAX OFFICE will be open until 6 again this evening.

The Hopkins County Genealogical Society is inviting the public to a Patriot Grave Marking Service.  It’s to honor and sustain the memories of our Revolutionary War Patriot ancestors.  The event for Mandley T.
