Lexington police have obtained an arrest warrant charging former state Rep. Steve Nunn with murder in the slaying of his former fiancée, Amanda Ross.
Nunn, 56, also was charged with violation of a protective order. The warrants have been served to Nunn, who is being held in the Hart County jail, police said.
Nunn, the son of former Gov. Louie B. Nunn, had been in The Medical Center at Bowling Green since Friday, when police found him in a Hart County cemetery with his wrists slit just hours after Ross was shot to death in Lexington.
Lexington police obtained the warrants late Monday evening — a few hours after Vice-Chief Regional District Judge Derek Reed had set Nunn's bond at $57,000 on six charges of wanton endangerment of a police officer in Hart County for allegedly firing a gun near police officers.
Nunn was taken to the Hart County Jail by Kentucky State Police shortly before 10:30 a.m. CDT Monday after spending the weekend in the hospital. He was scheduled to be back in court in Hart County at 11 a.m. next Monday for an arraignment.
