Former KSP Trooper Gets Ten Months In Prison
Former Kentucky State Police Trooper Jason O'Bannon, who worked from 1996 to 2007, and spent much of his career at the London Post, was sentenced in federal court in Lexington to ten months in prison.
He pleaded guilty in August to witness tampering and violating the civil rights of a female, who turned out to be an undercover drug informant for the state police.
O'Bannon admitted he forced the woman to kiss him in 2005 and tried to get a fellow state trooper to lie to a federal grand jury about the incident.
