LOUISA, Ky (WSAZ)--Two members of the Louisa Police Department were arraigned this morning on charges of official misconduct.

Chief Kevin Adkins and Officer Barry Bellomy face first and second degree misconduct charges after being indicted by a Lawrence County, KY Grand Jury. All the charges are misdemeanors.

According to the indictment, Bellomy is charged with ignoring a police call while he was at the home of a former reporter for the Big Sandy News.

Bellomy and the chief are also accused of harassing the reporter, Roberta Blevins.

Blevins told NewsChannel 3 that both men were trying to harass her to get tape recordings she had relating to an investigating of the two officers.

During their arraignment in District Court, Adkins and Bellomy pleaded not guilty to the charges. Their next court date is set for May 21.

I hear that there's an audio CD recording going around out there of another officer employed by the LPD...supposedly, he uses profanity and cusses out a citizen of Louisa that he had a personal problem with...the worst thing about it is that i'm almost 100% sure that the officer left the recording on a cell phone while he was ON DUTY!!! at least thats what I was told by a member of city council....to me, thats just as bad as what Adkins/Bellamy did by ignoring a call while on duty...has anyone else heard anything about this or obtained a copy of the cd with the "other" officer's voice??? i think that its definitely something the public needs to know about. Any info is appreciated.
