A Kentucky State Police Trooper with Post 15, which covers Russell County, was indicted on charges including theft and abuse of public trust.
42-year-old Daniel Forbis was indicted in Franklin Circuit Court last week. The indictment alleges that Forbis took control over “movable property” belonging to the state.
The indictment states this occurred twice, once in June 2023 and again in February 2024.
According to the indictment, Forbis, while acting in a government capacity, took the public property and intentionally dealt with such property as his own but failed to disclose this to his employer.
The property, which has not been named in court documents, is valued at over $10,000.
He is set to appear in court in July on the charges.
