Roy Stucker Body Camera Picture

On Friday, a federal court judge dismissed the lawsuit against the city and police, ruling that police had produced enough “probable cause” for former Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Mary Shaw to sign off on a warrant.
The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the house had been vacant for ten days and the suspect was in custody, before the raid happened.
The lawsuit accusing police of acting on stale information and without probable cause when they raided a home in July 2019 to serve a warrant on an alleged drug suspect has been settled for $180,000.
