According to WKDZ, the Oldham County Circuit Court clerk says Dayton Jones had been indicted for first-degree promoting contraband and second-degree persistent felony offender.
Oldham County Commonwealth's Attorney Courtney Baxter spoke told WKDZ that Jones had been caught with suboxone in September of last year at Luther Luckett Correctional Complex. The lab results required to confirm the drug, did not come through until December 30.
Baxter says that if Jones is convicted on the new charges, he may face up to ten years in prison.
Former Gov. Bevin signed the executive order on December 9, which commuted Jones's sentence to time served. He had been serving 15-years after admitting to his role in a sexual assault case against a 15-year-old victim in 2014.
As of Friday Jones had not been arrested in connection to the indictment.
According to the Courier-Journal, Christian County Commonwealth's Attorney Rick Boling has publicly apologized for writing a December letter to Gov. Bevin suggesting that Jones be pardoned. The letter suggested Jones had been targeted because his grandparents supported Republican candidates.
Boling apologized for any embarrassment he caused the community, but others have called for him to resign.
