Austin

A Hopkinsville woman was arrested at a W. 7^th Street bar early this morning for allegedly exposing her buttocks while dancing for another patron.

The arrest card says police performed a “walk through” at the “UR” Bar just before 1am and allegedly found 23-year old Kayla Austin of Hopkinsville giving a lap dance for a man.

Austin had allegedly exposed her buttocks and was allowing a second male patron to use a marker to sign his name on them. Police say Austin was very intoxicated and that her actions caused others in the bar to become hostile with police.

Austin was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, performing nude activities and being drunk in public.

The manager of the bar, 35-year old April Sunshine Dugger of Hopkinsville, was cited for permitting nude activities.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Spokesman Keith Todd says state officials have recently talked to several ferry companies about the kinds of services they can provide to transport traffic across Kentucky as crews continue to excavate and eventually repair Eggners Ferry Bridge.
According to Todd, plans to provide a ferry service is still in the early stages, but state officials plan to bid the contract out.

The transportation official says before state officials can move forward with plans to provide a ferry service across Kentucky Lake, engineering and environmental concerns have to be answered first.

Progress continues to be made at Eggners Ferry Bridge as crews continue to remove debris from the bridge that fell into the water after an ocean going vessel, the Delta Mariner crashed into the bridge, which knocked off one the bridge’s spans.
