Darren Doyle, story:
An Edmonson County District employee was arrested today, according to a statement from Superintendent of Schools Brian Alexander; however, no other details were available regarding the incident.

The school's automated phone call system sent calls across the county with a message from Superintendent Alexander. The entire statement was as follows:

"I have learned that an employee of the Edmonson County School District was arrested by the Kentucky State Police on January 13, 2021. At the present time, I have no knowledge of any allegation of inappropriate activity involving students attending the District. I am taking appropriate action to remove the employee from the District until further information can be obtained.

Due to individual privacy rights, we are unable to comment further at this time."

No other information was available from Supt. Alexander today.

​We requested information concerning this arrest from Kentucky State Police today; however, they informed us that the information would only be available through the U.S. Attorney's Office in Louisville. A call to their office was not immediately returned. 

This is a developing story and we will have more as information becomes available.
