Our top story tonight, a judge has sentenced former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin to 60 days in jail.

But there is a way he can avoid that sentence.

As we reported last week.

Jefferson Family Court Judge Angela Johnson found the former governor in contempt of court.

Judge Johnson ruled that Bevin missed deadlines to turn over financial documents related to his divorce.

And a case involving his adopted son, Jonah.

Jonah Bevin says he's entitled to financial relief because of abuse suffered at a reform school in Jamaica.

Today, according to the Kentucky Lantern, Governor Bevin appeared before Judge Johnson by Zoom, though he'd been ordered to appear in person.

Bevin told the judge he had to attend an out of state funeral for his ex-wife, Glenys father.

He did not say where he was.

The judge told Bevin she was issuing a warrant for his arrest.

She said he could avoid jail by providing the required financial information, including tax returns, bank statements and other details about his assets and income.

Bevin's attorney did not comment after the meeting.

Glenna Bevin was not held in contempt because she provided the financial information requested of her.

Now there is more to the story.

Today, the Courier Journal reports that Governor Bevin, a former Republican governor of Kentucky, wants the judge taken off this case.

Bevin accuses Judge Johnson of personal bias and prejudice and says she cannot be impartial.
