A Jefferson District Court judge who has clashed with County Attorney Mike O'Connell before has now threatened to sanction prosecutors who file motions in her court asking to force defense attorneys to make any requests to suppress evidence at least 30 days before trial.

The County Attorney's office has filed a petition in Jefferson Circuit Court asking a judge to prohibit District Judge Stephanie Pearce Burke from punishing prosecutors who file the motion. A hearing date has not yet been set.

David James cannot serve as both a member of the Louisville Metro Council and as a police officer at the University of Louisville, according to a Wednesday opinion from Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell.

O'Connell wrote in a memorandum to Metro Council members that James should not be allowed to vote on council matters until he has vacated one of the offices.

A veteran assistant Jefferson County attorney with a history of anger-management issues has been suspended for 30 days for yelling at and threatening a public defender and forcing her out of a conference room.

Robert Fleck, a DUI division chief who is paid $80,449, was suspended without pay until March 13 and ordered to undergo a psychological assessment.

A Louisville man is facing numerous charges after police say he caused an injury accident involving an LMPD officer.

According to the arrest slip, it happened Thursday around 3 p.m. on Interstate 64. That's where police say an LMPD officer was traveling westbound in the fast lane of I-64 when he noticed the suspect, 50-year-old Christopher Constant, tailgating him. According to the arrest slip, Constant was "following officer's vehicle so close that officer could not see the front bumper" of subject's vehicle from his rear view mirror.

Dozens of Louisville families are looking for answers in the disappearance of their loved ones. And now LMPD has one man in charge when the trail goes cold.

LMPD Detective Mike Perry has the new assignment, but it involves some old cases.

"I take over the case when it is six months old," Det. Perry said.

Perry is one of three detectives assigned to LMPD's missing persons unit.

He says it's a coincidence; some judges say it's a conspiracy.

Seven of Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell's assistant prosecutors have filed to run for District Court - and their opponents include all of the judges with whom O'Connell has recently sparred over drunk-driving prosecutions and other issues.

The challenges come after O'Connell reversed his policy in November to allow his assistants to run without having to leave office. O'Connell said he wanted to create a "more level playing field" in District Court.

Metro Police continue their search for a suspect that exchanged gunfire with an LMPD officer Sunday night.

LMPD Public Information Officer Alicia Smiley has identified the officer involved in the shooting as Bryan Wilson, an officer with the city's Second Division. Officer Wilson joined LMPD as a recruit in August 2011; he was reportedly responding to a report of a female subject who was experiencing trouble with her children.

The diapered child is bombarded with obscenities and racial slurs by the adults around him.

The African-American toddler knocks down a chair and gives nearly as good as he gets, responding to some of the comments with an upraised middle finger and telling one of the adults at one point, "Shut up, bitch." The adults laugh and prompt him to repeat other crudities.
