Andrew Hacker, 33, of Annville, KY, appeared before Judge Henria Bailey-Lewis in District Court on Monday, December 15, 2025, for arraignment in Case #25-F-00141.
Hacker was arrested on December 09, 2025, during the execution of Complaint Warrant #E05510005074457 obtained by the Jackson County Attorney. The Complaint Warrant alleges that the Jackson Family Court ordered Hacker to pay child support in the amount of $219.21 per month on November 01, 2015. Hacker allegedly became $2,630.52 delinquent as of October 31, 2016.
At the arraignment, Hacker entered a plea of “not guilty” to the charge of “Flagrant Nonsupport”. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for January 12, 2026. Hacker was released from jail on December 15, 2025 under a $1,000 unsecured bond.
As in all cases at this stage of adjudication, the charges are allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent until provided due process and determined to be guilty by the court.
This is among several cases involving charges of Flagrant Nonsupport to progress and culminate in court actions. Earlier this year, Jackson County Attorney Ross Murray warned, “You have 30 days to get your case into compliance. After that, if you are not making regular monthly payments in full on your child support obligation and you are $2,500.00 or more delinquent on your child support obligation, you can expect felony criminal charges to be filed against you from my office.”
Murray wrote: “If you are not making regular monthly payments in full on your child support obligation and you are $2,500.00 or more delinquent on your child support obligation, you can expect felony criminal charges to be filed against you from my office. NCPs!! (Non-custodial parents) You have two (2) choices! Either pay your child support, or we will do our best to send you to prison!”
However, in addition to a promise of prosecution in cases of flagrant nonsupport (>$2,500 delinquent), the County Attorney also extended a hand to help those who may be struggling themselves, resulting in a lack of ability to provide child support. The County Attorney reported, “Even if you are arrested, if you are on drugs and want help, we will try to get you help. Your stabilization and transition into being a productive member of society is in everyone's best interest. Your child needs YOU, not just your money.”
