3:40
by Jane Reclined, June eighteenth, twenty twenty five. We have
3:45
all come to depend on severe weather alerts, either through
3:48
outdoor sirens or alerts on our cell phones, which leaves
3:51
residents concerned when a tornado touches down without warning. Although
3:56
the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning in the
3:59
minute before the tornado or minutes before the tornado touched
4:03
down their Long Run road, most residents said they received
4:07
no prior warning. Director of Emergency Management Kevin Divine, so
4:13
the National Weather Service was monitoring the storm, which went
4:16
from a minor image on the radar to an EF
4:19
two tornado very quickly, and the alert was sent out
4:22
at the last second as the storm was developing. When
4:25
people said they didn't get the alarm, Divine said the
4:28
system was checked and no failure was found. Divine said
4:31
some residents reported they did not hear any sirens.
4:34
Speaker 2: Quote.
4:35
Speaker 1: There are six sirens in the county. Divine said none
4:38
would have been heard on Long Run Road end of quote.
4:42
He also explained that the outdoor sirens are designed to
4:45
alert people who are outdoors to take shelter not to
4:48
wake people during the night. When asked if more sirens
4:51
could be added in the county, Divine said those sirens
4:54
calls over twenty thousand dollars each, plus an additional seven
4:58
hundred dollars for batteries when they need to be replaced.
5:01
The sound range of the outdoor sirens varies in between
5:04
two and five miles, depending upon the terrain and other variables.
5:09
Divine recommends residents sign up for the Washington County Emergency
5:13
Alert System. To sign up for the emergency alerts, go

5:33
firrons in the whistleblower case against the top leadership of
5:36
the Nelson County Sheriff's Office, Chief Deputy Brandon Bryan is
5:40
a legend to tendant or Detective Ean Justice attempted to
5:44
get Brian to break the conditions of the court in
5:46
the case. Brian, Sheriff Ramon Pianora are accused by Justice
5:52
and fellow detective Will Purdam of retaliation against them for
5:56
finding a whistleblower complaint against Brian and Pianora for taking
6:00
the detectives off the Greater Hardened County Narcotics Task Force
6:05
and reducing their hours. Purdham and Justice swore out a
6:08
complaint alleging retaliation, as well as alleging that Brian did
6:13
not follow proper procedures when selling vehicles out.
6:16
Speaker 2: Of the impound lot.
6:18
Speaker 1: Part of the court restrictions against Pionora and Brian is
6:21
that they have no contact with Justice or Poredom through
6:25
the course of work or outside of the office.
6:28
Speaker 2: The filing earlier.
6:30
Speaker 1: This week contains a memo by NCSO Captain josh Greenwell
6:35
discussing that he and Sergeant Brandon Teeter are to serve
6:39
as go betweens for communication while the case against Pionora
6:42
and Brian are pending. Quote on April eighteenth, twenty twenty five,
6:47
Detective Justice was standing in the hallway of the Nelson
6:50
County Sheriff's Office.
6:51
Speaker 2: Greenwell wrote he.
6:53
Speaker 1: Was standing just outside of the evidence room door having
6:56
a conversation with evidence technician Pam Brady. I. Captain Joshua
7:01
Greenwell was sitting at my desk in my office directly
7:04
across the hallway, Detective Justice broke conversation with Brady and
7:09
said good afternoon. I then noticed Chief Deputy Brandon Brian
7:13
walked past my door and Justice continuing towards the kitchen.
7:17
Speaker 2: Area of the office.
7:19
Speaker 1: Brian did not respond to the comment. I do not
7:22
know the context of the conversation between Justice and Brady.
7:25
Speaker 2: End of quote.
7:27
Speaker 1: Greenwell continued to document a separate but similar incident just
7:31
days later. Quote on April twenty second, twenty twenty five,
7:35
Justice had a short conversation with me at my office door,
7:38
then exited towards the rear door of the office. I
7:41
then heard Justice say morning to Brian as he was
7:45
in the kitchen area. The memo states complaints were filed
7:49
in regard to both incidents.
7:51
Speaker 2: End of quote.
7:52
Speaker 1: Greenwell's memo indicates that Panora and Brian must avoid any
7:56
direct communication with Justice and Purdom so as to state
7:59
and come clients with court orders, noting quote, even communications
8:03
as simple as a good morning, or how are you
8:06
suggest or provoke a response. If a response is made,
8:10
it can be construed as a contact that would then
8:13
violate conditions of the court and impede the Sheriff's office
8:16
efforts to achieve its directives and goals, or bring discredit
8:20
upon the office or upon the Chief Deputy or Sheriff
8:23
and disquote. The memo goes on to instruct Justice and
8:28
Purdom the quote avoid all directs and or unnecessary communications,
8:32
and to quote with Pionora and Brian and that any
8:35
communication between either side should go through command staff at NCSO.
8:41
Speaker 2: P and Re and Brian are accused.
8:42
Speaker 1: Of violating whistleblower laws and are charged with abuse of
8:45
public trust and theft by deception and official misconduct. Brian
8:50
is also charged with forgery. In recent months, attorneys representing
8:54
Brian and Pianora ask Special Prosecutor Amanda Hernandez Troutmann to
8:59
spell out their targes and a bill of particulars so
9:02
that they could adequately prepare for their defense for the
9:05
October trial.
9:06
Speaker 2: Quote.
9:07
Speaker 1: The co defendant is attempting to use the bill of
9:09
particulars at a discovery device to force the Commonwealth to
9:13
turn over its theory of the case before trial. Hernanda's
9:16
Troutman were last month.
9:18
Speaker 2: Quote the Commonwealth has.
9:20
Speaker 1: Turned over much of the discovery it intends to introduce
9:22
a trial, although the discovery process is not completed at
9:26
this time, and of quote in accounts against Brian and Pianora,
9:31
she notes that certain forfeited vehicles in the impound warehouse
9:34
were used by the joint task force that Purdain and
9:37
Justice served on should have in some cases then returned
9:40
to the actual owners of the vehicles, and not who
9:43
was in possession of the vehicles when they were forfeited
9:46
to law enforcement. Hernandez Troutman also states that certain vehicle
9:50
owners were issued storage bills for their impounded vehicles and
9:54
were then deemed abandoned, and that law enforcement cannot charge
9:58
storage fees for i what is held in evidence by
10:01
a police agency. The Kentucky State Police began investigating the
10:05
case in December twenty twenty four in response to allegations
10:09
against Brian and Pianora by Justice and Purdams. The detectives
10:14
have indicated to investigators that Brian may have received kickbacks
10:18
through the improper cell of vehicles. In addition, after p
10:22
and Orea was made aware of the complaints against Brian
10:25
and Pianora, was scheduled to meet with Justice and Purdam
10:28
on separate occasions. In February to discuss the matter, with
10:31
overtime being frozen.
10:33
Speaker 2: When Purdam and.
10:33
Speaker 1: Justice met with Pianora, they had their attorney, Thomas Clay
10:37
with them, and that prompted n quote Irate Alf's outbursts
10:42
from Pianora Hernandez Trotman rights, and that led to the
10:46
detectives being removed from the Joint Task Force. Anna James

12:55
BBB scandalert newtech creates stake calls and voice smails by
13:00
Angry Cline, June eighteenth, twenty twenty five. Everyone knows to
13:04
look out for phony emails. They can appear in your
13:07
email inbox or even at work. Scammers can easily make
13:11
messages that appear to come from anywhere, like your boss's,
13:14
an email account, or a close stamiy member. But what
13:17
about phone calls and voicemail? Scammers can use new AI
13:21
technology to mimic the voice of someone you know and
13:24
create a phone call or voicemail recording. This voice cloning
13:29
technology has recently advanced, and anyone with the right software
13:33
can clone a voice from a very small audio sample.
13:37
How the scam works. At work, you get a voicemail
13:40
from your boss. They instruct you to wire thousands of
13:42
dollars to a vendor for.
13:44
Speaker 2: A rush project.
13:45
Speaker 1: The request is out of the blue, but it's the
13:47
boss's orders, so you make the transfer. A few hours later,
13:50
you see your boss and confirm that you sent the payment.
13:53
But there's one big problem. Your manager has no idea
13:56
what you're talking about. It turns out the message was fake.
14:00
Speaker 2: At home. You may receive a phone call or voicemail
14:02
from a.
14:03
Speaker 1: Family member in an urgent situation, like an accident or
14:06
a medical emergency. They provide convincing details and ask for
14:10
money immediately via a digital wallet payment app like Venmo
14:13
or PayPal. You find out later that the story wasn't
14:16
true and your money is gone.
14:19
Speaker 2: A consumer shared on.
14:20
Speaker 1: Scam tracker quote received a call and I thought it
14:23
was my daughter in law. She said, Hi, Mom, calling
14:25
to say she was pulled over driving and has a
14:28
broken nose and is now being She was frantic to
14:31
have me called the lawyer right away. She asked me
14:34
three times if I wrote the name and number down.
14:36
Speaker 2: I said yes. She said she had to go.
14:38
Speaker 1: Right now as they are taking her. Her verse voice
14:41
sounded just like my daughter in law. End of quote.
14:44
How to avoid AI voice cloning scams. Resist the urge
14:48
to act immediately, no matter how convincing a phone call
14:52
or voicemail may sound. Hang up or close the message.
14:55
If something doesn't feel right, call the person who claimed
14:58
to have called to you directly with the phone number
15:00
you have saved for them. Don't call back the number
15:03
provided by the caller or caller ID ask questions that
15:07
would be hard for an imposter to answer correctly.
15:11
Speaker 2: Don't send money if you're in doubt.
15:13
Speaker 1: If the caller urgently asks you to send money via
15:15
a digital wallet, payment app or a gift card, that
15:18
may be a red flag for a scam. If you
15:21
wire money to someone and later realize as a fraud,
15:24
the police must be alerted.
15:26
Speaker 2: Secure your accounts, whether at home or at work. Set
15:30
up multi factor.
15:31
Speaker 1: Authentication for email logins and other changes in email settings
15:35
at work. Verify changes in information about customers, employees, or
15:39
vendors at work. Train yourself staff. Create a secure culture
15:43
at your office by training employees on internet security. Make
15:47
it a policy to confirm all change in payment request
15:51
before transferring.
15:52
Speaker 2: Don't rely on email or voicemail.
