Rumpke offers tips to Floyd customers regarding trash collection on snow days

PRESTONSBURG, Ky. — The lingering effects of winter snowstorms have created challenges for everyone, and that includes your garbageman.

  • Stay Informed – Monitor weather updates and service alerts via Rumpke’s website or social media.
  • Update your Contact Info – To stay up to date on service alerts, make sure you opt in to receive SMS messages and emails from Rumpke.

Floyd woman set to plead guilty in federal meth conspiracy case

LONDON, Ky. — A Floyd County woman is set to enter a guilty plea in a federal drug case, while her codefendant continues to consider a plea offer.

Stephanie Hall, 32, of Maytown, and Briana Hope Hunter, 31, of McDowell, were arrested in May of 2024, following a traffic stop. A state trooper pulled them over for excessive window tint, then found nearly half a pound of meth in their car.

Both were later indicted by a federal grand jury on a charge of conspiracy to distribute more than 50 grams of meth. That charge is punishable by a prison sentence of between 5-to-40 years.

Hall has now signed a plea agreement admitting to the charge. She is scheduled to appear in court on Friday to formalize her guilty plea.

Hunter had also been told a plea deal would be forthcoming, but in a filing last month, her attorney said she had not received it. If she is not offered a plea agreement or if she rejects one, she is scheduled to go on trial March 2.

Note: Story has been edited to correct that, as of Jan. 6, Hunter had been told a plea agreement would be forthcoming, but had not been received.
