A Lexington police officer
accused of assaulting a teenage referee at a ten-and-under soccer game last
year will be facing a diciplinary hearing.
The Lexington Hearald-Leader
reports the Urban County Council will move forward with a disciplinary hearing
against Keith Spears, who pleaded guilty to grabbing a 13-year-old's arm over a
call the boy made during a game in Scott County.
Officer Keith Spears pleaded
guilty to an amended charge of harassment, which is not considered a
misdemeanor, but a violation. He was originally charged with harassment with
physical contact.
LEX 18's investigative team
found paperwork that says Spears applied for "permanent occupational
disability" in March. If granted, he will retire from the Police
Department and collect tax-free checks for life.
A member of the pension board
says they haven't reached a decision.
Spears' hearing is scheduled
for June 30.
