cases dismissed after police officer investigation


Brandenburg, Ky (WDRB) -- More court cases are being dismissed in Meade County after two state troopers were fired.
The Meade County Circuit Court Clerk's office says 10 cases were dismissed Wednesday, seven for DUIs and three for traffic violations.
The office says they were dismissed because the investigating officers listed were Kentucky State Police Troopers Jerry Clanton and Stratford Young.  KSP confirms the two troopers from Post 4 were fired on Friday.
The Clerk's Office says the cases were dismissed Wednesday because the troopers were unavailable for court.  That brings the total cases dismissed in two weeks in Meade County to 15 since five DUI cases were dismissed last week.
This all comes as a father tells WDRB that his 15-year-old daughter was the victim of an inappropriate relationship with two troopers, a Breckinridge County Sheriff's deputy, and a Brandenburg police officer.
Breckinridge Deputy Chris Woosley recently resigned, but his department will not say why.
Brandenburg Mayor David Pace told WDRB News Thursday that he will not release his officer's name who is on paid administrative leave because it's a personnel issue and he has no plans to terminate that officer at this time.
The Kentucky Attorney General's Office is in the process of naming a special prosecutor in the case.  Once the KSP investigation is complete, it will be up to a grand jury to decide whether the men will face criminal charges.
Breckinridge County Attorney Bradley Butler says he has not dismissed any court cases involving the former Breckinridge deputy so far.
