Farmer was taken to a hospital to be checked for ill effects after spending the night outdoors.

Sheriff receives clean audit
CATLETTSBURG An audit of the 2011 financial statement of Boyd County Sheriff Terry Keelin’s office showed no instances of noncompliance, State Auditor Adam Edelen said in a news release.
The audit also showed no matters involving internal control over financial reporting and its operation that were considered to be material weaknesses, the release stated.
State law requires the auditor to annually audit the accounts of each sheriff’s department in the state. In compliance with the law, the auditor issues two sheriff’s reports a year — on the sheriff’s tax account and other on the fee account used to operate the office.
The audit of Keelin’s department found the sheriff’s financial statement presented fairly the revenues, expenditures and excess fees of the office in conformity with the regulatory basis of accounting.
