    HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Diana Moers says Amy Word will no longer be able to serve on the Vanderburgh County school board.

    This comes after Word was found guilty of Maintaining a Common Nuisance, a level 6 felony.

    “The Defendant, Amy Word, who is still an inactive member of our school board, allowed drug dealers and users alike to proliferate cocaine into the community of Evansville through her bar. But no more. The Defendant’s businesses are no longer in operation, and she will no longer be eligible to serve on the school board as a convicted felon,” said Moers

    Word has agreed to an unpaid leave of absence following her arrest. Her sentencing is scheduled for August 5.
