LOUISVILLE A New Albany man said he feared for his life after being stopped by Louisville Metro Police Department officers Friday morning.
And, according to 42-year-old Tomas Montalvo, a police supervisor confirmed what he already knew that he had been mistaken for a different man.
Montalvo works in downtown Louisville and said he was driving to work alone at about 6 a.m. Friday, which is his normal routine.
As he was crossing the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge, Montalvo said he noticed several cars stationed on the Louisville side of the span. As he attempted to exit the bridge, Montalvo said he was stopped by officers in an unmarked car.
