STANTON, Ky. (LEX 18) – A Kentucky man is facing charges after his Halloween decorations depicted bodies of local officials.
Fifty-eight-year-old Stephan Marcum is in hot water over his Halloween decorations.
On Saturday, law enforcement received complaints about a display that appeared to show fake body bags hanging in Marcum’s front yard.
Police say the decorations depicted the bodies of local officials. They say one fake hanging body bag was labeled “district judge” with a rope around the neck. Four other bags were labeled “mayor,” “-sis,” “C.A.” and “zoning manager.”
Marcum was arrested and charged.
In court, Marcum was supposed to be arraigned on charges of intimidating a participant in the legal process and third-degree terroristic threatening. Howeve
