Two Louisville Metro Police officers were indicted Wednesday on theft charges related to problems with their pay.
Salat Aweys and Marcel Williams each face up to 10 years in prison for theft by unlawful taking. According to prosecutors, the officers are accused of “double-dipping” by working private security at a public housing complex in the city’s Park Hill neighborhood while on the clock for Louisville Metro Police Department.
Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Paul Humphrey said in a written statement Wednesday that the department’s Public Integrity Unit began its investigation in December 2025. He said Aweys resigned from the department in January 2026, and Louisville Metro Police Department has initiated the termination process for Williams.
Humphrey said Louisville Metro Police Departmenttakes matters of integrity seriously and remains committed to maintaining the public’s trust through accountability and transparency.
