A Hardin County man convicted in the shooting death of his wife received his sentence Tuesday.

Jordan Henning of Rineyville will serve 20 years in prison on the charge of First Degree Manslaughter. The jury that convicted Henning in March recommended that sentence, which was confirmed at the May 6 sentencing hearing.

Hardin Circuit Judge Larry Ashlock said he was adopting the jury’s recommendation of the maximum sentence based on the “violent nature of the offense.” Ashlock noted the impact the home surveillance video that captured the shooting had on him personally. The judge also said the impact of the shooting on the couple’s three children, all of who were in the home when the shooting occured, played a part in the sentencing.

Henning was arrested in June 2023 after he shot his wife, 37-year-old Ashley Henning, five times following a birthday party at their home. Both Jordan and Ashley Henning were active duty service members stationed at Fort Knox at the time of the shooting.

An investigation is under way in Grayson County after a man allegedly posted pictures of area women and girls to a porn website.

The Kentucky State Police Says Zackery Robinson of Caneyville was arrested Tuesday morning on 27 counts of Second Degree Stalking. He was lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center. According to Robinson’s listing on the detention center’s website, he is being held on a $500,000 cash bond.

Kentucky State Police Post Four Public Information Officer Scotty Sharp posted a statement to Facebook Monday regarding several reports made to the KSP, the Leitchfield Police Department, and the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office regarding a subject who “had uploaded pictures of adult and juvenile females onto an adult website without their permission.” The KSP says investigators are actively working the case and more information will be provided as it becomes available.

Design alternative selected for Glendale connector project

The preferred alternative for the Northeast Glendale Connector Project has been selected.

According to the Glendale Mobility Study’s website at www.glendalestudy.com, a modified version of Alternative Three was selected. The KYTC says “The new connector northeast of town between Mud Splash Road and KY 1136 would be a two-lane road, including a series of roundabouts to calm traffic and provide connectivity to the local roadway network and businesses.” The design includes a 10-foot-wide shared use path along the southern side of the road to maintain as much of the existing tree canopy as possible, and a raised median was removed from the design.

“Nailing down this preferred alternative just gives us some more definition as we move ahead with the next step of the process, which will be the ultimate design, and then right of way and utility work, followed by construction,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “At this point, we don’t have a good timeline that we can present because these next steps depend on budgets and funding. As these funds become available, we’ll certainly update the general public and post that information on the GlendaleStudy.com website. That’s a good go-to for everybody to find out the latest it’s going on on the project.”

The KYTC says the alternative was selected based on public and stakeholder feedback along with project costs, benefits, and impacts.
