UPDATE: Attorney General Russell Coleman announced Letcher County Sheriff Mickey Stimes will be arraigned Wednesday, September 25 on murder charges in the shooting death of District Judge Kevin Mullins. Coleman says Stines will appear virtually before a special judge in Letcher County District Court.   WHITESBURG, Ky. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) — The Letcher County Clerk’s Office in Whitesburg is set to reopen this week, following the tragic shooting death of District Judge Kevin Mullins. The office, however, will not be processing out-of-state transfers or inspections for the time being. The reopening comes just days after the incident that resulted in the death of Judge Mullins, who was fatally shot multiple times inside his chambers last Thursday. In response to the shooting, flags at courthouses across Kentucky have been lowered to half-staff. The Kentucky Supreme Court Chief Justice has ordered flags to remain at half-staff through the end of Monday to honor Judge Mullins. The community paid their respects at Mullins’ funeral, which took place Sunday at Jenkins Independent High School. Letcher County Sheriff Mickey Stines, who is accused of the murder of Judge Mullins, is currently in custody. State Police have charged him with murder, and his arraignment is expected to occur later this week as the investigation continues. The Letcher County community continues to mourn the loss of Judge Mullins while grappling with the circumstances surrounding this unsettling event.
