South Williamson, KY — In a joint investigation, authorities in Kentucky and West Virginia arrested 27-year-old Amanda Dempsey of Lenore, West Virginia on a variety of charges. According to the arrest citation, Kentucky State Police (KSP) responded to a call at South Williamson ARH, where emergency room staff advised that Dempsey was extremely under the influence and was attempting to leave with her three-year old child. When KSP Troopers arrived, they found West Virginia State Police (WVSP) Troopers already on scene following up on a child endangerment complaint they had received against Dempsey.

The child was placed in the custody of West Virginia Social Services. WVSP have obtained arrests warrants and extradition papers against Dempsey.
