1/5 Man charged with attempted murder of a police officer will await trial at home!

Yesterday, Judge Olu Stevens, released inmate Kenneth Walker on home incarceration. The Fraternal Order of Police condemns this Judge’s actions.

2/5 Just one week ago, this man violently attacked our officers, and was charged with attempted murder after shooting a sergeant! Not only is he a threat to the men and women of law enforcement, but he also poses a significant danger to the community we protect!

3/5 LMPD officers put their lives on the line everyday protecting the citizens of this community. Judge Stevens’ actions are a slap in the face to everyone wearing a badge, and places our community at risk of further violence.

4/5 While we understand the current needs of our local corrections facility, we must sound the alarm now. Home incarceration was not designed for the most violent offenders!

5/5 I call on the public to condemn the actions of Judge Olu Stevens, and support your Louisville Metro Police Officers and protect your community.
