LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â We're learning more details into the investigation that led to the firing of a Lexington police officer.
LEX 18 obtained a memorandum from the Lexington Police Department which summarizes the investigation into Officer Jervis Middleton.
The document outlines Facebook Messenger conversations between Middleton and Sarah Williams, described by LPD as a "known protestor who organized the Police Accountability Protest in Lexington Kentucky, beginning sometime in May 2020." The protests in Lexington began after the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis, and coincided with the Breonna Taylor protests in Louisville.
