A second suspect has been arrested in connection with a 2006 murder that occurred on Greenville Road in Christian County.
According to the Union County Sheriff’s Department, the United States Marshal Service informed deputies of an indictment arrest warrant issued for Lashanda Bell—also known as Lashanda Person—who was believed to be residing in Union County. Bell was taken into custody in Sturgis, Kentucky Wednesday morning and charged with murder and first-degree robbery.
Regina Vause, also charged with murder and first-degree robbery in connection with the 2006 murder of 84-year old Roscoe Mayes, appeared in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon. She was set to be arraigned, but that was delayed as she requested more time to try and hire a private attorney. Judge Andrew Self continued the arraignment until June 15, saying that should give her plenty of time to find private counsel.
The Christian County Sheriff’s Office says an autopsy determined Mayes died from blunt force trauma.
Vause is lodged in the Christian County Jail on a $1 million bond.
