Kentucky State Police Arrest Barren Co. Constable

From Trooper First Class Scotty R. Sharp

Elizabethtown, KY - On July 25, 2023, Kentucky State Police Post 4 was notified of a pursuit of a stolen vehicle that had originated in Barren Co.

As the pursuit entered Hardin Co, it was discovered that a Barren Co. Constable was also involved in the pursuit and was driving a Honda Odyssey van with green and amber emergency lights with a "five-point star" with "Kentucky constable" written on the side of the vehicle. During the pursuit, troopers observed the Constable operating his vehicle in a reckless manner at a high rate of speed, nearly striking the cruiser of several law enforcement officers that were involved.


During the investigation, it was determined that the Constable does not have any law enforcement certification and had taken office in January of this year.

As a result of the investigation a warrant was issued and Joseph Ramey, 29 years old, was arrested and is lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center. He is charged with six counts of wanton endangerment, impersonating a peace officer, and official misconduct, along with several other misdemeanor traffic violations. The investigation remains ongoing by Sgt. Blake Owens.
