K9 Bear helps Floyd, Pikeville officers catch fleeing suspect
HAROLD, Ky. — Floyd County Sheriff’s Office K9 Bear helped police capture a man wanted in connection with a stolen dirt bike case out of Pikeville.
Floyd County sheriff’s deputies and Pikeville Police went to a residence along Route 979 at Harold just after midnight Thursday morning in search of Joshawa “Jagger” Bevins, 21, who was wanted for questioning about a dirt bike that had been stolen from McCoy Motorsports the previous day.
When they arrived, they found the dirt bike in question, then saw Bevins jump on it and flee.
By the time officers got back to their cars, they were unable to determine which way Bevins went. But pretty soon, they learned he had nearly hit one vehicle, then hit another.
Police found the dirt bike leaning against a guard rail and deployed Bear to track down Bevins. Bear led officers through thickets and brush, then caught up to Bevins and brought him to a halt by chomping down on his forearm. He was able to pull away, but the stop was long enough to allow police to catch up and arrest him.
Bevins is now charged with fleeing police, wanton endangerment, criminal mischief and resisting arrest. Any charges related to the dirt bike in Pike County had not been filed at press time.

Federal judge rejects proposed ARC settlement judgment over dispute involving same funds
NEW YORK — A federal judge in New York has rejected a request by Clear Cove Opportunities Fund to enter a partial final judgment in its lawsuit against Addiction Recovery Care, ARC founder Tim Robinson and Angelica Capital Trust, finding that the proposed judgment could conflict with another ongoing case involving the same funds.
Clear Cove and the ARC defendants had reached a proposed stipulated judgment and asked the court to formally enter it. However, Angelica Capital Trust opposed the request, and U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil denied the motion in an order issued Tuesday.
The judge said the proposed judgment involved funds that are also at the center of an earlier lawsuit involving Angelica and ARC. Clear Cove had previously sought to intervene in that case but was denied.
“Clear Cove, having declined to appeal Judge Daniels’ denial of intervention in Angelica, may not use this action as an end-run around that one,” Vyskocil wrote.
Clear Cove and Angelica have both sued ARC over claims that the company sold the same tax credits to both companies and reneged on paying either one. Robinson was later indicted on wire fraud and money laundering charges for his role in the alleged scheme.
The court noted that Angelica has moved to confirm an arbitration award in its favor involving the same funds and that another judge had previously blocked the distribution of that money. Clear Cove has since renewed its request to intervene in that case.
Vyskocil said entering the proposed judgment between Clear Cove and ARC could result in inconsistent rulings and interfere with the efficient resolution of the related litigation.
“Entry of Clear Cove’s Proposed Stipulated Judgment in this case would have the clear potential to create inconsistent adjudications,” the judge wrote.
The ruling does not necessarily prevent Clear Cove and ARC from enforcing any settlement agreement they may have reached. The judge said Clear Cove remains free to pursue enforcement of its contractual rights against ARC and Robinson in a separate proceeding.
However, the court declined to formally approve the proposed judgment, finding that Clear Cove had not shown that the issues were sufficiently separate from the Angelica litigation or that there was sufficient reason to enter judgment before the related case is resolved.
