Pike County Man Sentenced to Prison for Threatening Judge-Executive

A Pike County man will be going to prison for at least four years for threatening a public official.

Ronald Ferguson Jr of Elkhorn City pleaded guilty in December to charges connected to making Facebook videos vowing to “hunt” down Pike County Judge-Executive Ray Jones and shoot him.

Ferguson had reportedly accused Jones of killing one of his dogs.

This week a judge sentenced Ferguson to four years and two months in prison.
