That's today's Appalachian Wireless. A little more than two weeks ago, news of a South Carolina attorney arrested in eastern Kentucky for allegedly stealing horses made national headlines. But Curtis Bostic, originally from here in Pike County, says he and his family were actually attempting to rescue a couple of feral horses running on private property in Brethat County, owned by his client. It is a reclaimed mine site and on it there are scores of abandoned horses. Bostic says he obtained permission from the property owner to rescue a couple young horses he was afraid might not survive the winter. So on December 18, Curtis Bostic and his family arrived with a horse trailer in tow. But that's as far as he got with his rescue efforts. Someone was concerned that they believed we were not on private property that we were on and called the sheriff and the deputy came and arrested us for rustling, sort of being horse thieves. Bostic, along with another man, were lodged in the Three Forks Regional Jail in Badyville on a felony charge of theft by unlawful taking of livestock. And Curtis Bostic quickly realized how quickly news travels. I'm from Charleston, South Carolina, so local newspaper began to call, local television began to air the story that was picked up by a variety of national news sources. But Bostic had done his homework and he knew his rescue efforts were legal. And today those charges were dropped. What has been wrong has been made right. And I've reached an agreement with both the Commonwealth attorney and the county attorney and the sheriff's office that there was not probable cause for my arrest. Curtis Bostic plans to return to Brethit County soon to complete his rescue mission. In part two of this story we will talk about the Kentucky law that Bostic wants to make more people aware of. And that law, Shannon, allows people to quote, take up animals that have been abandoned, horses that have been abandoned. Reporting in Brethit County for EKB News, I'm Shannon Deskins.
