Former Police Officer Indicted On Drug Charges
KENTUCKY...
A former paramedic and law enforcement officer was indicted on 10 felony and 12 misdemeanor forgery counts for faking signatures to obtain large amounts of narcotics.
A grand jury returned the counts against 39-year-old Roy J. Howard, a former Kentucky State Trooper and an officer with the Glasgow Police Department. He was working as a paramedic when he was arrested. The indictment states that, between 2008 and 2009, Howard allegedly forged signatures of doctors at T.J. Samson Community Hospital and employees of the Barren-Metcalfe Emergency Medical Services to obtain large quantities of prescription narcotics, specifically morphine, illegally at the hospital.
