Former Hartford Kentucky Police Chief Brent Lindsey has been arrested on more than a dozen charges, according to the Pennyrile Narcotics Task Force.
This comes a month after Chief Lindsey was placed on leave amid a criminal investigation.
Months ago, task force officials say they received a complaint regarding drugs and the police chief.
After an investigation, a case was presented to a grand jury and Chief Lindsey was indicted.
According to officials, Lindsey was arrested Tuesday on a warrant in Ohio County.
The Kentucky Courts Docket shows Lindsey faces three counts of Tampering with Physical Evidence, one count of Official Misconduct, one count of Voyeurism, ten counts of Sexual Abuse and one count of Trafficking in a Controlled Substance.
He is scheduled to appear in the Ohio County Circuit Court on January 16, at 10 a.m.
Hartford Mayor Beau Wright said after being on administrative leave for about three weeks, Lindsey eventually resigned from his position on November 16, 2023.
Mayor Wright said the Hartford Police Department remains fully committed to serving and protecting its citizens, and the actions taken in this regard are in no way a reflection of the hardworking and dedicated officers who uphold the highest standards of professionalism, and who conducts themselves with the highest degree of integrity.
