A man wanted in two Kentucky counties who appeared to comment on his wanted poster on social media earlier this month has been arrested.

A Facebook post from the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office says Jacob Miles was located Friday in north Bullitt County at an address where he “was known to be hiding.” Miles was previously wanted on drug charges in both Bullitt and Meade counties, also deemed a “person of interest in a case” with two outstanding warrants.

A previous post from the sheriff’s office encouraging locals to share information about Miles’ location sparked a comment from the profile name of Jake Miles. He said, “I’m pretty sure I just saw him at the gas station. He kept glancing up at me while I was washing my hands. Very bizarre,” which brought to life the post’s comment section with thousands of reactions.

The account — which has a profile photo of a man who closely resembles Miles — did not comment on the post again, and it cannot be confirmed that the man commenting is Miles.

Miles is currently in custody and is being held on a $10,000 bond. A bench warrant was issued in Meade and Bullitt counties in July after Miles was scheduled for probation court. Court records show that previous efforts had been made to revoke his probation after violations.

Miles, who was originally given a sentence of seven years with five years of probation, previously entered a guilty plea to possession of a controlled substance in the second degree for hallucinogens and trafficking of a controlled substance to the first degree for methamphetamine. Other charges were either amended or dismissed.

When the schedule was unveiled, they looked like trap games on each side of Christmas. Instead, Michigan treated those tricky pre and post-Christmas buy-games against top-150 KenPom teams like tune-ups. The Wolverines didn’t just get past Western Kentucky on Sunday night; they shot them off the floor.

Michigan matched a program record with 19 made 3-pointers and held an opponent to zero first-half assists for the second time in two games. As was the case last week, Michigan’s win felt like a formality by the first media timeout in the second half.

Seven Wolverines hit multiple threes, led by Nimari Burnett’s 5-of-7 perimeter shooting for 17 points, and the only reason that a few starters logged more than 20 minutes was that they were a reserve short on the night.

It was a decisive, no-nonsense thrashing of a Western Kentucky team that has otherwise been very competent — ranked in the top 150 nationally, 9-4, and coming off of an NCAA Tournament appearance. It was the sort of effort we’ve come to expect from a Michigan team that has handled its business with professionalism in non-conference play despite having its sights set on more.

Former President Jimmy Carter has died, Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024, at age 100.

Carter was the 39th and longest-living president in U.S. history. He served a single term after defeating former President Gerald R. Ford in 1976. He was also a Nobel Peace Prize recipient in 2002, although the Nobel Committee chairman believed he deserved the distinction since 1978 when he negotiated a peace deal between Egypt and Israel.

The Carter Center announced Feb. 18, 2023, that Carter had entered hospice care after several visits to the hospital. Center officials said in a statement the former president expressed he did not want to spend his remaining days in a hospital setting, instead spending time with his family and care team.

His wife, Rosalynn Carter, a longtime mental health care activist, died Nov. 19, 2023 at their home in Plains, Georgia.

“Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished,” Carter said in the statement. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”

During his life, he visited Kentucky many times. Here are some of the moments he spent in the Bluegrass State:

Carter’s final visit to Louisville came in 2001 to promote his book “Christmas in the Plains” at the former Hawley-Cooke Booksellers store on Shelbyville Road. Michael Veirs wrote in The Courier Journal’s reader forum that Carter signed 600 books of people with passes and stayed to signed more copies of his then-latest book.

“Carter’s humble and friendly manner was immediately evident to all who were fortunate enough to meet him,” Veirs said.
