ALLEN, Ky. (WMDJ) — Law enforcement officials are investigating after a mural honoring three fallen officers and a K9 was vandalized Sunday night in the Allen community.

The mural, created by local artist Peyton Andrew Martin, depicts Prestonsburg Police Officers Ralph Frasure and Jacob Chaffins, along with Floyd County Sheriff’s Deputy William Petry and K9 Drago. The artwork, located in the big curve at Allen, has served as a well known memorial for the officers who were killed in the line of duty in July 2022.

According to Prestonsburg Police Chief Ross Shurtleff, someone spray-painted over each of the faces on the mural. The Floyd County Sheriff’s Office responded first to the scene, and both agencies are now working to identify the person responsible.

Chief Shurtleff said his department is committing all necessary resources to locate the suspect and that an arrest will be made. Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to call 606-886-1010. Callers may remain anonymous.
