After interstate shootings wound 5 in Kentucky, searchers scour hill terrain for suspect

According to Kentucky state court records, Couch was charged this past February with misdemeanor terroristic threatening. However, the charge was dismissed when a victim failed to appear in court. Back in 2015, the same man was sentenced to six months in jail after being convicted of criminal mischief and unlawful transactions with a minor. Couch also has had a handful of traffic violations and a public intoxication conviction in 2020.

Acciardo said the search is dangerous for first responders and is painstaking because of thick foliage. There are “a lot of woods, a lot of cuts in the rock,” he said. “He could be hiding behind a tree and us walk right up on him.” Heavy searching would be temporarily suspended if Couch wasn’t located before night fell, Acciardo said. The manhunt would resume in the morning.
