Six times during an armed robbery trial last December, defense attorney Frank Jewell asked Louisville Metro Police Det. Derrick Leachman whether he took photos at the crime scene.

Six times, Leachman testified under oath that he had not.

But after Jewell's seventh attempt, Leachman finally acknowledged he had taken crime scene photos but "the pictures were lost and I didn't want to testify that I lost pictures," according to a video of the trial.

The name Peter Grignon will forever bring to mind the sacrifices police officers make protecting the community.

The Louisville Metro Police officer was shot in the line of duty March 23, 2005. For many of us, that's most of what we know about Peter, but his father says there was so much more.

It's not just Peter's memory but the impact that his sudden death had on his family, and especially his father, that's in Donald Grignon's new book Forever 27.

A Louisville Metro Police officer involved with dozens of pending criminal cases is himself under investigation for allegedly falsifying his time sheet, claiming overtime he may not have worked, according to court records filed this week.

The investigation of Officer Chris Thurman has put on hold many of his criminal cases and is prompting prosecutors to notify defense attorneys about the officer's situation, because it could affect his credibility at trial.

He might be the most feared officer on the Louisville Metro Police Department -- just a glimpse of his car strikes fear in the hearts of motorists.

In some circles, he's known simply as "The Mustang." And even if you don't know him, you at least know his car.

You see the car -- and hit the brakes -- but by then, it's too late he's gotcha! You can hear his intentions while tracking one driver recently: "She's going about 77 in a 55, so going to write 22 miles over the posted speed limit."

A Jefferson Circuit Court judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit against longtime radio personality Terry Meiners and WHAS Radio, finding that comments Meiners made about a police officer involved "a matter of public interest" and expressed his opinion about a traffic stop.

Louisville Metro Police Officer Sam Cromity claimed in a March 2012 lawsuit that Meiners disparaged and lied about him on the air after being given a speeding ticket in March 2011.

Two Indiana law enforcement officers have been arrested as part of an investigation into illegal steroids.

Indiana State Police arrested Anthony Mills Jr. and Robert Wilcoxson early Monday morning.

Mills has been a Jeffersonville police officer for two years and is on paid leave.

Wilcoxson is a Clark County corrections officer and has been fired.

It's a problem in Louisville that isn't going away -- in fact, it's getting worse. Ninety-six percent of the detox beds at a local drug recovery center are filled with heroin addicts.

Dig through a week's worth of arrest citations and you will find the same drug cited over and over again. Police arrested William Dodson this week for breaking into more than 100 homes and vehicles in Louisville's east end.

Metro Councilwoman Mary Woolridge told others deliberating whether to oust Barbara Shanklin from office earlier this year that she wouldn't vote to remove her because she is an African-American woman, Councilman Kelly Downard said Wednesday.

Downard, a Republican representing eastern Jefferson County's 16th District, told the story to a luncheon crowd without naming the council member, but later told the Courier-Journal, "It was Mary Woolridge. You can say that on the record."
