Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2015 — The Bloomfield man arrested Tuesday and charged with murder in the stabbing death of a Bardstown man was indicted Wednesday by a Nelson County Grand Jury.

Alexander Cole Roberts, 18, was indicted for murder and tampering with physical evidence. He is being held in the Nelson County Jail on a $1 million cash bond.

According to the indictment, Roberts allegedly stabbed Rasheed Javon Wickliffe in the neck Tuesday morning, resulting in Wickliffe’s death in front of the Bloomfield Post Office.
