A former Glasgow police chief who later became an officer and then detective and was fired in August 2023 has lost another appeal to have that decision reversed.
Guy J. Turcotte had appealed Mayor Henry Royse’s decision to terminate his employment by filing a civil lawsuit against the City of Glasgow and the Glasgow Police Department in Barren Circuit Court, but Circuit Judge John T. Alexander ruled in favor of the city and GPD in March 2024.
From there, Turcotte filed an appeal with the Kentucky Court of Appeals, a three-judge panel from which on Friday released its ruling affirming Alexander’s decision. Turcotte now has until June 20 to petition for a rehearing with the full appellate court.
