Adventurous Night at Beech Bend Park, Bowling Green

In an unusual event that unfolded on Friday night, a man was discovered climbing ‘Kentucky Rumbler’ – the famous wooden roller coaster at Beech Bend Park. The incident that took place around 10:30 PM, raised alarm and led to the prompt arrival of the Richardsville Fire Department, Medical Center EMS, and the Warren County Sheriff’s Office at the scene.

The man, later revealed to be 30-year-old Robert Cherry, was spotted atop the highest hill of the roller coaster. Upon spotting him, the emergency personnel had no choice but to climb onto the tracks and begin negotiations.

Negotiations Leading to Peaceful Resolution

Through continued efforts and after an hour of discussions, the personnel were successful in coaxing the man down the hill. Fortunately, the incident ended without any harm coming to Cherry or the emergency personnel on the scene. Cherry did cooperate and descended the hill peacefully.

However, Cherry was not left unscathed by his late-night adventure and was soon booked early Saturday. He is currently facing multiple charges.
