Man Returned to Barren County to Face Murder Charge

A southern Kentucky man charged with killing his wife has been returned to Glasgow after being arrested in an Ohio park.

The Glasgow Daily Times reported that 35-year-old John William Amis was taken in to the Barren County Detention Center on Tuesday night. Jail records list his bond at $1 million cash and do not list an attorney for him.

Amis is charged with one count of murder and two counts of felony tampering with evidence after Lorine Dawn LaBombard was pronounced dead on June 16 at the T.J. Samson Community Hospital in Glasgow.

Police arrested Amis on Friday inside a tent in East Fort State Park near Batavia, Ohio.
