Lexington Man Flees Fayette Circuit Court

{Lexington, Kentucky}...Police and U.S. Marshals are looking for a 29 year old John C. Buckley IV, a Lexington man who fled the Fayette Circuit Court Thursday just before a jury found him guilty of rape and sodomy. Lexington police say Buckley left court when the jury began deliberating and cut off an ankle monitor that he was wearing as a part of the conditions for release on bond. Lexington police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts says Buckley's training as a former Army Ranger gives him the ability to engage in defensive and combative tactics at a very high level. The jury found him guilty of two counts of first-degree sodomy, first-degree rape, fourth-degree assault and unlawful imprisonment.
