A Kentucky prosecutor says state charges against a man accused of placing glass shards in cups that were to be sent to restaurants have been dismissed so that federal charges may proceed.
In a statement from the Hart County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office which said the charges against Waylon Horton of Munfordville were dismissed Tuesday (8/2) so the federal case could move forward without interference. The charges were dismissed without prejudice meaning they can be refiled.
Horton had faced 139 counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and 139 counts of possession of a destructive device in state court. In federal court, he’s charged with one count of consumer product tampering.
Horton has pleaded not guilty. U.S. Attorney spokeswoman Stephanie Collins says a trial date hasn’t been set.
