{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Jerry T. Lunsford, a division director for the state Finance and Administration Cabinet, pleaded not guilty Thursday to DUI, disregarding a traffic light, reckless driving and operating a vehicle without a license. The citation says Lunsford nearly hit a state trooper's vehicle a few minutes after leaving work on May 14th and that, after he was pulled over, his speech was slurred and he seemed slightly disoriented. The trooper said Lunsford stated he was tired. Police found pain medication in Lunsford's vehicle, and Lunsford told them he was taking it because of a cracked rib. A pretrial hearing in Franklin County District Court was set for August 16th.
