The Morehead Minute is issuing a correction to an earlier report regarding the arrest of Steve Adkins and Rita Adkins of Sandy Hook.
Initial jail booking information from the Rowan County Detention Center listed both individuals as being charged with murder.
That information has since been updated by the detention center. The current charge for both individuals is Solicitation to Commit Murder, not murder.
Steve Adkins is listed under case number 26-CR-00030 and Rita Adkins under 26-CR-00031. Both cases remain open in Rowan County Circuit Court. Jail records indicate an alleged offense date of June 8, 2026, and both individuals were arrested by Kentucky State Police on June 12, 2026.
The Morehead Minute updates its reporting based on official public records. When updated information becomes available, corrections are issued to ensure accuracy in reporting.
The original article has been updated to reflect the corrected charge.
