A second inmate with Christian County connections released under Gov. Paul Patton's budget-driven conditional commutation initiative is back in police custody after being charged with first-degree rape. City police arrested Richard McGregor, 40, of Pembroke-Fairview Road on January 27, serving a warrant issued by Christian Circuit Judge John Atkins. Police had been searching for McGregor since Jan. 20 when the alleged rape occurred. McGregor was discovered by Cpl. Joe Witherspoon hiding in kitchen cabinets in an apartment on East 19th Street. McGregor is a multiple felony offender, having been charged with 26 offenses since 1981 and convicted of seven felonies, some of them violent, according to Jailer Livy Leavell. This time, 'he was released on Jan. 17, and on Jan. 20, he went out and (allegedly) committed first-degree rape,' Leavell said. 'He had been out three days.' McGregor remains housed at the Christian County Jail on a $25,000 cash bond. Another felon, Terry Lynn Robnett, 44, was released from the Roeder Correction Complex in LaGrange on Dec. 18 and was arrested here Jan. 7 after allegedly running from police in a high-speed chase and fighting with a police officer. Robnett was one of 567 Class D felons released from state custody in December in a cost-cutting effort. |
