Inmate Could Face Additional Charges for Courthouse Incident

The inmate who broke a window at the courthouse last week was Billy Polasek, the 36-year-old La Grange man facing a felony child injury charge stemming from the 2016 death of a local infant.

Chief Deputy Randy Noviskie of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office was in the district courtroom when the incident happened last Wednesday morning, Jan. 23.

Noviskie said Polasek was wearing leg irons and handcuffs during his court appearance.
