MUNFORDVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Former state Rep. Steve Nunn has pleaded not guilty to six counts of wanton endangerment for allegedly brandishing a firearm when he was approached by police at a cemetery in September.
Police wanted to question Nunn in the shooting death of Nunn's former fiancee, 29-year-old Amanda Ross. He has been charged with murder in her death.
When police arrived at the cemetery in Hart County on Sept. 11, they found Nunn sitting against a headstone where his parents are buried. Nunn allegedly fired a shot after police saw him, then threw down the gun.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that Nunn was transported to Hart County and entered a not guilty plea to wanton endangerment charges on Tuesday morning.
Circuit Judge Charles Simms scheduled Nunn's trial for June 14. His attorney, Warren Scoville, declined to comment after the arraignment.
