LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Brooks Houck, one of three men convicted in the murder of Bardstown mother Crystal Rogers, has been transferred to another prison in Kentucky.
Houck was previously held at the Oldham County Detention Center but was moved on Monday to the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Johnson County, according to Oldham County Jailer Jeffrey Tindall.
Tindall said Houck will stay there until he is transferred to the Roederer Correctional Complex in Oldham County.
In September, Houck and co-defendant Joseph Lawson were sentenced in Nelson County Circuit Court for their roles in Rogers’ murder. Judge Charles Simms III gave Houck a life sentence and Lawson 25 years, the maximum allowed under Kentucky law.
Lawson’s father, Steve Lawson, had earlier received a 17-year prison sentence in connection with the case.
