ELLIOTT COUNTY, Ky . (WKYT) - Go to jail or go to church. That was the choice for a Kentucky man arrested in a theft case.

As part of his plea deal, a judge sentenced 23-year-old James Talbot Nickell to attend Sunday services for six weeks at the First Baptist Church in Sandy Hook.

He was also ordered to march before and after the services with a sign that says "I stole from this church".

The sheriff says Nickell pleaded guilty after deputies found guitars in his home, stolen during a break-in at the church in December.

WYMT Opinion

Do you think the Federal Government should recognize that marijuana and hemp are different varieties of the same plant?

Yes, they are different and hemp should be legal when states allow it
No, both plants are the same and should be illegal
Both should be legal if states allow it
