In other police news, the Kentucky State Police have been seeking information regarding two traffic stops in Middlesboro.

According to an official press release, on April 8, KSP began conducting an investigation in Bell County in which an individual was pulled over by two unmarked vehicles less than one mile apart on U.S. 25E. This occurred near the Bell County Veterinarian Clinic and the Imperial Bait Shop in Middlesboro. Trooper Don Perry initiated an investigation.

The press release states that preliminary investigation indicates a female was traveling on U.S. 25E when an unmarked green SUV pulled her over. A male wearing a red Carhartt jacket with a badge around his neck allegedly approached the vehicle and stated that she was speeding but never asked for any paper work. The male then advised her to slow down and let her go. The victim stated that less than one mile later she was stopped again by a navy blue SUV. This time a male individual allegedly approached the vehicle and asked for her license. This unknown person wasn’t wearing a badge anywhere visible. He began screaming at her and hitting her window. The victim stated she was calling state police and this individual ran back to his vehicle and left.

Kentucky State Police have extra patrol in the area and are asking the public for assistance in this case.
