BARBOURVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) - A southern Kentucky sheriff's deputy resigned after posting a selfie with an unconscious woman.

Knox County Sheriff Mike Smith was made aware of the picture Tuesday morning and began an internal investigation.

WYMT was forwarded a copy of the photo that shows Deputy John Luttrell with the unconscious woman in a car. He was in his uniform, smiling and giving a thumbs up. The caption read "Another day at work." 

Smith said he has accepted the resignation of Luttrell.
