Henderson Grand Jury Hands Down 128 Indictments

Henderson, Ky 4/14/21- The Henderson County Grand Jury handed down 128 indictments during its recent April session. The 12-member investigative panel also referred 20 cases to its May session and remanded 8 other cases back to District Court. The Grand Jury also dismissed 32 individual charges during deliberation.

In addition to numerous drug and theft-related cases, several true bills were handed down on charges of assault, wanton endangerment, and first-degree strangulation.
