Bivens said he responded to the call at about 12:30 a.m. Friday at the intersection of Ky. Rts. 57 and 10.

He said a Dodge Neon operated by Michael Williamson, 24, of Tollesboro, was traveling north on Rt. 57 at an apparent high rate of speed. He said the Neon crossed the intersection and went through the front wall of Sissy's Country Kitchen, coming to rest at the rear wall of the restaurant building.

Bivens said that Williamson was apprehended while leaving the scene on foot east on Rt. 10. Williamson was charged with second offense DUI with aggravating circumstances, leaving the scene of an accident, disorderly conduct, first degree criminal mischief, third degree assault, and driving DUI with a suspended license.

That's what Deputy Dwayne Stone said about two of the occupants of a vehicle involved in an accident Sunday night at Charters.

Stone said the accident happened near the mouth of Salt Lick on the AA Highway at about 8:45 p.m.

He said a 1996 Saturn, operated by Kelly Stamper, 25, of Garrison, was traveling west on the roadway and was attempting to pass another westbound vehicle.

Stone said while the Saturn was in the passing lane, two vehicles were traveling in the oncoming lane. He said the lead vehicle reportedly did not have its headlights illuminated while the second vehicle did.

Stone said Stamper's husband, Brandon Stamper, 20, was sitting in the passenger seat and noticed the oncoming vehicles. Stone said Brandon Stamper grabbed the steering wheel and turned the Saturn to the left to avoid both the oncoming vehicles and the vehicle being passed.

He said the auto went off the left shoulder of roadway, traveled about 160 feet, struck an embankment, rolled over approximately four times, and came to rest on its top.

He said a passenger in the back seat, Steven Clark, 19, of Quincy, was able to get out of the auto and then physically raised it up while others who had stopped at the scene pulled the Stampers from underneath.

The Vanceburg City Council had no items on its agenda for the May session last week. The meeting lasted only about 15 minutes.

Council member Brenda Lykins asked about a problem in the alley across from Dickerson Funeral Home on Second Street in Vanceburg.

She said that very time she turns up the lane next to the Rouse residence, she hits a big bump.

The Lewis County Sheriff's Department has recently received a grant of $89,415 from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to use to fight the overwhelming drug problem in communities throughout the county.

Sheriff Bill Lewis says the department is working hard on a new program called Project Drug Free Lewis County.

The program is a community wide approach to eliminating drug use/abuse and trafficking in Lewis County. The goal of this project is to alleviate juvenile drug use/abuse in our communities.

"The hotline is not equipped with caller identification," he said. "We want people to feel comfortable about reporting illegal drug activity in the county."

Lisette Clark, coordinator of the Lewis County Task Force, has sent surveys and other information home with children at Laurel Elementary and Lewis County Middle School to provide parents with knowledge about drug abuse and prevention among youth.
