New Details on Georgetown Man Accused of Sexual Abuse

A 65-year-old Georgetown resident, Phillip Dwayne Wise, was arrested on October 26th at 11:22 p.m. by Georgetown Police for Sexual abuse in the first degree.

The charge is a Class C or D felony, depending on the circumstances.

The arrest came pursuant to a Warrant of Arrest signed by District Court Judge Mary Jane Phelps on October 24th.

A Uniform Citation from the Georgetown Police offers some details of the arrest.

However, the official Complaint within the warrant paints a grizzly account of the accusations made against the defendant by The Commonwealth.


The warrant also states that the defendant had a "previous career as a law enforcement officer" but this blog was unable to ascertain what affiliation, if any, the defendant had. The Georgetown Police were only able to comment that it's an "ongoing investigation".

After searching public records for a Phillip Wise in Georgetown; There is some evidence, according to the Kentucky Secretary of State online records, that someone by that name founded a company here in Georgetown in 2005.

The company, Wise Industry, LLC, was then signed over by someone named Phillip Wise in 2009 to another party. What's unclear, is whether these two people are one in the same, or not. This blog makes no claim to the connection as there is no way to corroborate it at this time.

Updated: Local Georgetown Business Burglarized in Bizarre Incident

Updated May 8, 2013

There's some good news involving this crime. The owner of Bumper 2 Bumper Auto Care, Catrina Adkins, has contacted us to update the status of their case. The man responsible for the crimes committed , 43-year-old Anthony Delmoro, was apprehended by Lexington authorities on January 17, 2013 and has plead guilty to the charges. He is in custody at the Fayette County Detention Center awaiting sentencing on May 24th.                                          


A local Georgetown business was burglarized and had a vehicle stolen early Thursday morning. The business, Bumper 2 Bumper Auto Care (located on North Water Street), had serviced the vehicle and it was locked inside the shop waiting on payment from the owner.

In the predawn hours Thursday morning the alarm sounded and Georgetown Police responded to the scene to find the service door of the business had been smashed through from the inside out and the owners identified that an older model SUV was missing.

Here's where the story takes a twist and turn. In an article published by the local Lexington NBC affiliate WLEX, LEX 18; We discover that a vehicle possibly matching the description of the vehicle stolen in Georgetown was found in flames on Mt. Horeb Road near the intersection of Newtown Pike and Kentucky State Road 1973.

An officer heading to another call spotted an SUV burning along a rural road in Lexington early Thursday, and investigators say it matches the general description of a vehicle stolen from a Georgetown shop earlier in the morning.
Investigators say the SUV went through a fence and into the guard rail along Mt. Horab Road, then burst into flames. The passing officer spotted the burning vehicle around 3:45 a.m. The driver was nowhere to be found.
Police say the SUV is similar to a vehicle that a burglar drove through the garage door of Bumper 2 Bumper Auto Care in Georgetown earlier in the morning, but they have not determined if it is the same SUV.
Police continue to investigate and search for the driver.

Georgetown, Kentucky - Crime Blog spoke with the owner of Bumper 2 Bumper Auto Care, Katrina Adkins, this morning and she said that the burglar(s) first "tried prying open" the service door but failed. But then "broke through the window" to gain access to the building and took the keys from "the invoice" which was found "lying on the floor". The robber(s) also "ran into a tree" as the stolen vehicle exited the scene.


Mrs. Adkins went on to say that the vehicle was a "1997 Suburban" and that the Georgetown Police Department "responded in one minute, twenty seconds" to the burglary alarm.
