SUMMARY: Brown-Forman is closing its cooperage in Louisville, which has been in operation for 80 years, resulting in approximately 210 layoffs. Employees were informed during a morning meeting, leaving many shocked, including Daryl Fogle, a 25-year employee whose family had worked there for generations. While the company will offer severance and other benefits, many employees, including Corey Johnson, acknowledge the tough market conditions, with bourbon sales declining post-pandemic. Despite the uncertainty, employees plan to continue working until the closure in April, focusing on their tasks while navigating this difficult transition.

SUMMARY: Casey Noel, daughter of corrupt ex-sheriff Jamey Noel, broke down in tears as she admitted guilt to five counts of theft and four counts of tax evasion in court on Monday. She had used a stolen credit card for personal expenses and failed to report them on tax returns. Casey, 28, blamed her parents for setting bad examples, saying she felt entitled due to their lavish lifestyle funded by stolen money. Judge Larry Medlock sentenced her to nine months in jail, probation, and restitution payments. The trial of her mother, Misty, may result in a similar plea deal.
