A Eubank woman was arrested early yesterday after a Pulaski County Sheriff’s deputy found her driving erratically in Science Hill.

Tonya L. Denny, 34, was driving a 1999 Mercury on Stanford Street around 3:30 a.m. when she was pulled over by Deputy Adam Childress.

Childress found Denny to be under the influence of an intoxicant. She was also found to be in possession of marijuana, oxycodone and a crack pipe.

Denny was charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving improperly, possession of marijuana, 2 counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance not in its original container, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Denny was lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center, but was released later Friday.

In other news from the sheriff’s department:

• Brandon S. Steele, 21, and Crystal B. Farmer, 20, both of Somerset, were indicted Tuesday after an investigation by the sheriff’s department revealed they were in possession of property which had been reported stolen from the White Lily Fire Department.

Steele and Farmer were each charged with receiving stolen property over $300 and were lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center on $10,000 cash bonds.

• Claude Jackson, 54, of Cumberland, Ky., was charged with criminal mischief Thursday in connection with a May 2008 incident at North Side Storage on Abbott Road.

Jackson was returned to Pulaski County by Jefferson County officials .

Big Bang Theory
Pulaski County is not at war. The booming you may hear at dusk is mock cannon fire to scare away birds.
Stuart Spillman, environmental director for the Lake Cumberland Health Department, said at least three cannons are on loan from the department to residents who want to scare away swarms of starlings and blackbirds settling in to roost.
He said a cannon is being used by a resident on Laura Lane off Ky. 39; another is in the Oak Hill Road area and a third is on Ashurst Street in the eastern part of Somerset.
Spillman said a timer on each cannon allows it to “fire” at whatever frequency is desired. The cannons must be used as the birds circle before going to roost. “After they settle in, nothing will chase them out,” Spillman said.
The Health Department doesn’t operate the cannons unless there is a specific complaint in an area where there are lots of birds, Spillman noted. He said so far this year the birds are not as bad as in the past.

Boil water advisory is lifted countywide
The water controversy that Pulaski County has been boiling over — so to speak — for the last week is finally over.
At 10 minutes after noon Wednesday, the “boil water” advisory for the Western Pulaski Water District was lifted — almost a full week after the problems began around 1 p.m. last Thursday.
Prior to that, the Somerset Water Service — along with the other water providers in its system, including Science Hill Water, Southeastern Water, and Eubank Water — lifted their advisories, with Somerset on Saturday afternoon and the last, Southeastern, by Monday morning. Western Pulaski was the last in the system to complete sample testing for potential contaminants, due to not being able to access its Pikeville-based testing lab until Monday.
Somerset Mayor Eddie Girdler thanked the public for its patience and understanding during the duration of the boil water advisory — put in place to keep citizens from drinking water that could have been contaminated after an accident last Thursday at the water plant site — and also thanked all the city employees for their hard work during this time.
“The boil water advisory went about as well as would be expected,” said Girdler.
