OFFICER TOM DOUGLAS TO RESUME DUTIES AS OLDHAM POLICE OFFICER

I received information that Officer Tom Douglas will resume his duties as an Oldham County Police Officer on November 30, 2009.

Douglas had been scheduled to plead to additional charges levied against him today. However, all charges have been dismissed. I am sure that he is happy to have his job and will be happy to return to work. He knows that he has made mistakes and has willingly admitted those mistakes. I am also sure that he has learned valuable lessons from those errors.

I believe that the Chief of the Oldham County Police Department made the right decision in deciding to dismiss the charges. Perhaps everyone can now move on and pursue their work. That would benefit all of the residents of Oldham County. Hopefully this proves to be a good day for Oldham County
