A ceremony to officially dedicate U.S. Highway 127 in Russell County in memory of fallen sheriff’s deputy Joshua Phipps is set to take place today.
The ceremony is scheduled to take place at 11 o’clock today at the Russell County Courthouse, just one day shy of the one-year anniversary of his death in the line of duty.
A bill to dedicate the highway in memory of Phipps was introduced by Representative Josh Branscum during the last session of the Kentucky General Assembly. It passed through the legislature and was signed by Governor Beshear in April.
