Chumley v. Williams, 639 S.W.2d 557 (Ky. Ct. App. 1982). “It must be emphasized that this is not a case where the Court is required to pass upon the adequacy of the sheriff’s performance. This case is one of total failure through lack of awareness of the sheriff to perform his duty under the statute.”
