Investigation Underway Into Alleged Special Treatment for Matt Bevin in Jail

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — Louisville Metro Corrections is investigating allegations that former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin received special treatment while serving time at the Louisville jail.

 

Daniel Johnson, president of the Fraternal Order of Police lodge representing Metro Corrections officers, said correctional officers raised concerns about Bevin’s treatment while in custody.

 

Johnson alleges Bevin was given a Texas Roadhouse meal and had access to a cellphone and vape while incarcerated.

 

He also said the jail’s security cameras went offline for approximately six minutes Sunday night. Johnson said a corrections lieutenant was seen entering the area where Bevin was being held with a restaurant bag around the time of the outage.

 

Metro Corrections has launched an internal investigation into the allegations.

 

Bevin was ordered Friday to serve a 60-day sentence after being found in contempt of court in an ongoing family court case.
