Puckett found guilty

 

A Fleming County jury found Gerald Puckett guilty on two counts of diverting charitable gaming funds in excess of $300.
Puckett, who had been released on his own recognizance pending trial, was taken into custody following the jury's sentencing recommendation of four years in prison on each count, to run consecutively for a total of eight years behind bars. 
Asst. Commonwealth's Attorney Adkins said the court has the option to order restitution payments at Puckett's official sentencing hearing tentatively scheduled for May 15.
