PADUCAH, Ky. (WSIL) -- A former correctional officer faces charges after he was accused of using excessive force on two juveniles in separate cases.

Kentucky State Police (KSP) said they were requested by the Department of Juvenile Justice to investigate after two separate incidents were reported on October 15, 2024, at the McCracken Regional Detention Center.
