That's why The Martin Chronicles was the first news outlet to break the story of former Villa Hills' City Councilman Jim Noll's arrest for running a police barricade while transporting drugs and drug paraphernalia in the early morning hours of February 13, 2013. Our publisher's "old school" police scanner blurted the breaking news and he was immediately all over it.
Well, our publisher's police scanner just tracked down another mystery. He has our investigative reporters working hard to unravel exactly what's happening now.
Kenton County Dispatch alerted the Villa Hills Police Department that someone named Kelly Abney wanted to talk to the police "about (Villa Hills malfeasant) Mayor Martin". The return number was a 701 area code. That area code is in North Dakota.
The Martin Chronicles has seen the Abney name before. If you travel to the 10 1/2 Anna Street address in Reading, Ohio that Martin uses for his filings with that state as the business address for "Mike Martin Electric/Quality Home Services", you will find the Abney name on the mailbox. For the record, it appears 10 1/2 Anna Street is a garage behind the house at 10 Anna Street. A record search indicates the a Mike Martin relative owns the house on 10 Anna Street. But it isn't Kelly Abney.
So what did Kelly Abney of North Dakota want to tell the Villa Hills Police Department about Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin? Because of the persistence of our beloved publisher and our investigative reporters, we think we are almost ready to let you know.
Villa Hills' voters can't do anything about this tangled bag of snakes for another 374 days.
