Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk who made headlines for refusing to issue marriage licenses after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to legalize same-sex marriage in June, has been jailed in contempt of court, local news outlets are reporting.
According to Bluegrass Politics, U.S. District Judge David Bunning ruled to imprison Davis until she begins issuing marriage licenses. “Crowd outside erupts in applause,” the outlet tweeted this afternoon.
