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 \u201cdouble-dipping\u201d by working private security at a public housing complex in the city\u2019s Park Hill neighborhood while on the clock for Louisville Metro Police Department.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Paul Humphrey said in a written statement Wednesday that the department\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Humphrey said Louisville Metro Police Departmenttakes matters of integrity seriously and remains committed to maintaining the public\u2019s trust through accountability and transparency.
