For a second week, a presentation before Lexington city council members focused on addressing violence in the bluegrass community. The emphasis Tuesday was on enforcement and re-entry. Police Chief Lawrence Weathers told the Council youth re-entry pertains not just to teenagers, but to their families too.
“Some of the situations they get in, they’re not sure how to handle and sometimes they may ignore some situations because it’s easier to ignore them at home. But, that’s enabling and we try to give help in that aspect of it,” said Weathers.
