The Glasgow Police Department issued a press release just before 3:30 p.m. Friday stating that GPD and the Kentucky State Police are investigating a complaint involving GPD Detective Guy Turcotte.
It adds that he has been place on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, and no further information will be released at this time.
Although the nature of the complaint wasn’t specified in the press release, it could be the same one about which Glasgow News 1 has reported earlier this week.
A Barren County resident petitioned the court early last week for an interpersonal protective order to be issued to keep Turcotte away from her, as she has accused him of placing his hand in an inappropriate place on her body and pulling her toward him while he was a customer at her place of employment. A hearing took place Wednesday in Barren Family Court to determine whether an IPO should be issued, and Judge Mica Pence said she would take the matter into consideration before making a decision. She instructed Turcotte to not make contact with the petitioner in the meantime.
As of approximately 4:15 p.m. Friday, the judge’s decision was still pending when Glasgow News 1 checked with the circuit clerk’s office.
GN1 also has an open records request pending with the city regarding the matter.
