LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A former Kentucky State Police trooper could spend nearly five years in prison for lying under oath.

A grand jury charged Thomas Czartorski with perjury after making a material false statement on Jan. 18, 2021 during his testimony.

Court records show in April 2020 he entered a home in Shepherdsville to arrest Alex Hornback.

The home surveillance video appeared to show him hitting Hornback several times with a flashlight. Czartorski pleaded not guilty to the charge back in August.

Court records from January show Czartorski said he did not hit Hornback. He's expected back in court on Nov. 15.
