Lawsuit Against Glasgow Police Department Dismissed
KENTUCKY...
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit claiming excessive force by the Glasgow Police Department. U.S. District Judge Joseph McKinley ruled earlier this month that although the investigation highlighted shortcomings by the department, it had not shown that they violated the rights of 39-year-old Rodney Graves of Tompkinsville. The Glasgow Daily Times reported Graves was arrested in August 2007 and charged with bank robbery. He was later cleared after an Indiana man's fingerprint matched one found at that robbery and two others.
