Interesting story about Sanders. He once shot a business rival here in town for defacing some of his signs in North Corbin. The rival fired at Sanders but hit the one of the Colonels' managers, killing him. He received 18 years in prison. The Colonel did no jail time. And now you know... the rest... of the story.
One of my favorite YouTube channels did a story about it (linked here for anyone interested https://youtu.be/gTyfuE1NumM)
Despite living in NKY my whole life, I surprisingly never heard of that until this channel brought it to light for me.
