Shady Kentucky Cop Goes Off The Rails — Hit With Two Lawsuits In One Month

Something shady seems to be brewing in the Bluegrass State, and no, it’s not just bourbon barrels or derby drama. A Kentucky state trooper named Myron has managed to rack up two federal lawsuits in less than a month, and not for minor workplace slip-ups. We’re talking about aggressive arrests, sketchy traffic stops, and what appears to be a serious disregard for constitutional rights.

Let’s start with the most recent incident, which took place in Frankfort, Kentucky. A hardworking pizza delivery guy, Nicholas Ngeh, is pulling into the Papa John’s parking lot on May 1, 2024. It was for a traffic violation, failing to signal, but things escalated fast. Jackson pulled him over, and didn’t like that Nicholas chose to remain silent, per Atlanta Black Star. You know, his actual right under the Fifth Amendment. Apparently, exercising your constitutional rights in Kentucky is enough to get you labeled “uncooperative.”

Things turned dangerous when Jackson yanked Nicholas out of his car… while it was still in drive. Seriously. The vehicle started rolling, and the trooper had to sprint to stop it himself. Later, Jackson admitted, “I knew it wasn’t in park but I really didn’t think it through.” Not exactly the words you want to hear from someone with a badge and a gun.

Kentucky Police Officer Hit With Multiple Lawsuits

After all that, Nicholas was slapped with a charge for “obstructing governmental operations”—a charge that was later dropped. No sobriety test, no breathalyzer, no field tests. Just a wild assumption that something was up. And while Nicholas spent the night in jail, his car was left behind, forcing him to walk miles to retrieve it.

However, it gets worse. Just a few weeks earlier, the same law firm filed another federal lawsuit against Jackson for an entirely different incident involving Christen Johnson. This one is truly jaw-dropping. Christen’s mother was pulled over for an “expired” tag that wasn’t actually expired. Yep, you read that right. Jackson claimed an “internal system” flagged the tag, despite it still being valid. Suspicious? You bet.

When Christen stepped outside her own home in Kentucky to ask what was going on, Jackson told her to go back inside or face arrest. When she returned with her phone to record (as she’s legally allowed to do), Jackson snapped. He allegedly cuffed her, yanked her over gravel while barefoot, and tossed her into his cruiser without even strapping her in. And despite all this, her mom never got a ticket or even a warning.

More Kentucky Police Drama Revealed

These incidents are part of a disturbing trend within the Kentucky State Police, where Trooper Jackson isn’t exactly a lone ranger. His boss, Commissioner Phillip “PJ” Burnett Jr., was sued years ago for similar behavior. And just last month, another trooper was sued for tasering a man who was already lying on the ground. If there’s a code of conduct, it’s not clear anyone’s following it.

Let’s not forget, Trooper Jackson graduated from high school in 2019 and was hired by the Kentucky State Police in 2023. In just over a year on the job, he’s already made a name for himself for all the wrong reasons. With multiple lawsuits, questionable arrests, and zero accountability (so far), it’s hard not to wonder: how many more people need to be unlawfully arrested or dragged through gravel before someone in Kentucky takes this seriously?

Until then, let’s hope people in Kentucky keep their phones charged, their blinkers on, and their rights memorized because you never know when a routine stop might spiral into a constitutional crisis.
