Kentucky Sheriff Resigns Following High-Speed DUI Arrest

A threat of removal under state law from the governor prompted Terry Gray to submit his resignation on Thursday.

Overview

  • Robertson County Sheriff Terry Gray was arrested Tuesday after an alleged 110 mph drive with lights and sirens that nearly struck the Mason County sheriff’s vehicle, according to an official citation.
  • Gray is jailed at the Mason County Detention Center on charges including DUI, reckless driving, first-degree wanton endangerment and first-degree official misconduct.
  • Jail records list bond at $500,000, and court records show an arraignment set for Oct. 13.
  • The arrest report notes Gray was in uniform with a sidearm and handcuffs, smelled of alcohol, had a miniature bottle of Fireball whiskey, declined field tests and later took a breath test.
