A wrongful death lawsuit has reportedly been filed against former Letcher County Sheriff
Mickey Stines along with several members of the Sheriff’s Office by the widow of District
Judge Kevin Mullins who Stines is accused of killing in September 2024.
The Mountain Eagle reports the suit filed by Kimberly Mullins alleges certain employees of the Sheriff’s Office were negligent and reckless, with the suit claiming they knew, or should have known, that Stines was dangerous and should have warned her husband about it.
