*Sigh...*

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A veteran police officer will be formally relieved of her duties Friday after drugs allegedly were found in her home.

E.S., a seven-year veteran of the Louisville Police Department, and her husband, face charges of trafficking in a controlled substance, and trafficking in marijuana, NewsChannel 32's Abby Miller reported.

"This is so frustrating," Louisville Police Chief Greg Smith said Friday. "It's disgusting, and it's embarrassing. We have a lot of good people working hard and doing a thankless job every day, and something like this casts a shadow over all of them."

Officers allegedly found three ounces of crack and powdered cocaine in their home in the south end early Friday morning. Also allegedly found at the home were several ounces of marijuana and $2,000 in illegal proceeds. The drugs were reportedly packaged for sale.

Too bad, especially since LPD is just recovering from another recent public scandal involving drugs.

I guess they were trying to supplement the low wages most officers are paid. Just wish they would have done something legal.

klar, I know you know this, but there is no excuse to sell drugs, and that she was a LEO, she should have known better, but I bet she believed that she was too smart to get caught. Enjoy you're stay in jail E.S.

LOL I know it MR. Orange I was just making a comment about the low wages most officers are paid. I feel that she should lose her job and pay the penalty for her crimes. But I also know some officers have part time jobs just to make ends meet.

Maybe they should consider smaller ends!

This is true too. But you know how some people think they have to keep up with the jones and all.

She was going to be "relieved" of her duties on Friday...

She resigned today.

Does that make a difference as far as pension and things when you are arrested for something or does that matter?
