New details have been released in the investigation of an officer-involved shooting in Edmonson County that happened nearly a month ago.
Kentucky State Police said Sergeant Jason Adkison was placed on administrative leave following the shooting. The procedure is typical while an investigation is underway. Adkison is an eight-year veteran of the Kentucky State Police.
Around 8:47 p.m. on March 30, the Kentucky State Police Post 3 was assisting the Brownsville Police Department in a vehicle pursuit following a traffic stop on South Main Street in Brownsville.
Brownsville Police Department requested assistance from the Kentucky State Police after 27 year-old Cody Brady, of Smiths Grove, began firing at the police officer’s cruiser during the chase.
Kentucky State Police Troopers reported they joined the chase around 9 p.m. when Brady continued firing in the direction of the troopers resulting in two Kentucky State Police cruisers being hit.
The pursuit traveled through the Rocky Hill community and Smiths Grove community before ending behind a home on Rocky Hill Road in Edmonson County at 9:27 p.m.
Police reported Brady then fled on foot into a ditch line near the home, still with a firearm.
Reports indicate Brady fired shots again and was then shot by Adkison.
Brady was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation is ongoing at this time.
