A status hearing has been set for Randall Creek, the former Simpson county sheriff's deputy, who was indicted last November for murder, wanton endangerment, and tampering with physical evidence.

The charges stem from the shooting death of Debbie Rediess of Smith's Grove last October 5th.

Creek's status hearing is set for August 17th in Warren Circuit Court.

He was recently sent to the Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center to see if he is competent to stand trial.

He is currently lodged in the Warren County Regional Jail on a one-million dollar cash bond.
