The Kentucky State Police Critical Incident Response Team continues to investigate an officer-involved shooting that occurred last year in Russell County.
On February 27, 2025, Kentucky State Police troopers, from Post 15 in Columbia, served an arrest warrant for 38 year-old Linda M. Ashbrook, from Russell Springs, on charges of Complicity to Murder, Hindering Prosecution, Wanton Endangerment, and Persistent Felony Offender relating to the death of Russell County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Joshua Phipps.
Deputy Joshua Phipps was shot and killed on September 16, 2024, while attempting to locate a suspect who had fled from police.
Ashbrook was taken into custody without incident and was lodged in the Russell County Detention under $100,000 cash bond.
Two other individuals were with her at the time and were arrested on outstanding warrants not related to the officer-involved shooting investigation.
