LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A not-guilty plea was entered Wednesday morning on behalf of an officer with the Shively Police Department who was charged with speeding in his marked cruiser while off duty with his child in the car.

Officer William Bors is facing multiple charges for speeding, wanton endangerment and official misconduct.

He did not appear in court for his arraignment Wednesday morning. His attorney appeared on his behalf and entered a not-guilty plea.

Bors was ordered by Jefferson District Court Jude Lisa Langford to have "no unlawful contact" with his toddler. Prosecutors pushed for a total no-contact order, but Judge Langford denied that request, saying that it was excessive, given that the child was uninjured and that Bors was not under the influence of any substance while speeding. Bors' toddler, was allegedly in the car with him on at least eight of the occasions police said he was speeding more than 100 miles per hour.

Bors has been placed on administrative leave and his police equipment was seized.

He's due back in court next month.
