FLEMING COUNTY SENTENCING UPDATE

A Maysville woman who says she was just “having fun” after fleeing law enforcement was captured by the Fleming county Sheriff’s office last year. She found out her sentence in March and it was 15 years.

Nicole Bainter received 5 years each on 3 counts of Wanton Endangerment after attempting to elude multiple law enforcement agencies. She was ultimately stopped by Deputy Dustin Cooper of the Fleming County Sheriff’s office.

Commonwealth Attorney Johnathan Gay said: “running from the police is not only unsafe, it’s also stupid. It turns a bad day into a bad decade! Ultimately, our officers will catch you and we will prosecute you, and you will receive much more time than if you had just accepted the consequences. We are grateful to Fleming Deputy Cooper for ultimately stopping this defendant and appreciative of all the agencies that engaged in this pursuit leading up to this.”

Fleming County Sheriff Tim Smith said “Deputy Dustin Cooper did an outstanding job bringing this pursuit to a safe end under a very dangerous situation. I’m thankful this incident ended without any innocent civilians being hurt. When someone chooses to flee from law enforcement, they are putting a lot of people at risk just to avoid accountability. I’m proud of Deputy Cooper and all the agencies involved for the work they did that day.”

FLEMING CIRCUIT COURT SENTENCING UPDATE:

On July 13, 2024, Deputy Dustin Cooper responded to a call for service at the residence of Billy Hall involving a report of a possible intruder. No intruder was located and it was determined that Hall was having mental delusions following a use of methamphetamine some days prior that led up to the event.

Fleming County EMS assisted on scene and transported Hall to the hospital for evaluation. Upon arrival, Hall exited the ambulance and attempted to enter the emergency room. As Deputy Cooper approached, Hall turned and cut Deputy Cooper on the arm with a knife.

Despite his injury, Deputy Cooper was able to quickly gain control of Hall with the assistance of EMS personnel and hospital staff. He subdued Mr. Hall and took him into custody. Deputy Cooper immediately self applied a tourniquet and received medical treatment before being transported to the University of Kentucky Hospital, where he was treated and released.

On April 17th, following a lengthy investigation, court proceedings, and contested mental health assessments and evaluations, Hall was sentenced on amended charges of wanton endangerment and was sentenced to 9 years. His sentence was probated after Mr. Hall spent nearly 2 years in custody. He will will be required to serve more than 7 years of prison time should he violate his probation.

While no outcome can undo the events of that day, this conviction provides a measure of justice through the court system. Deputy Cooper’s actions in a dangerous situation reflect the professionalism and dedication our deputies bring to this job every day.

We are thankful for his recovery and for the support shown by our community and our emergency service partners.

*This case was resolved with the approval of Deputy Cooper.*
