RUSSELL COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — Community members came together on Monday to dedicate a portion of Highway 127 in Russell County in honor of Deputy Sheriff Joshua Phipps, who was killed in the line of duty in September 2024.
After a passage by the Kentucky House and Senate, the resolution was signed into law by Governor Andy Beshear in April.
Phipps was killed during the pursuit of suspect after a driver reportedly drove away from a traffic stop. The deputy, who served with the Russell County Sheriff's Office, was later shot.
