LONDON, Ky. (LEX 18) — A 46-year-old London man is in custody at the Laurel County Correctional Center on sexual abuse charges after he was arrested on Friday, Feb. 6.
A uniform citation and a complaint warrant filed by the Laurel County District Court detail the moments leading up to Ronnie D. Lockaby's arrest.
