18-year-old enters not guilty plea in Glasgow crash case

GLASGOW, Ky. – An 18-year-old has entered a not guilty plea following an October crash that claimed the lives of three teens in Glasgow.

According to court records, 18-year-old Asa Howard of Edmonton appeared for arraignment Monday morning at 10 a.m.

Court records state Howard entered a not guilty plea.

Earlier this month, court records state Howard was formally charged on three counts of murder, three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and one count of first-degree assault.

This follows a crash that happened on the night of Friday, Oct. 17. Authorities say Howard was driving on North Jackson Highway through the intersection of Veterans Outer Loop when his vehicle collided with another car.

After the crash, authorities say 18-year-old Emily Corbin of Hart County, a 14-year-old from Bowling Green and a 17-year-old from Edmonton were all pronounced dead at the scene.

Major Terry Flatt with the Glasgow Police Department stated in October that a preliminary investigation indicates alcohol was a factor in the crash.

Howard remains at the Barren County Detention Center on a $750,000 cash bond.

A pre-trial conference for this case is scheduled for April 13 at 1 p.m., according to court records.
