FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A former Kentucky State Police lieutenant colonel has been sentenced to eight months in prison for taking ammunition and weapons from the police armory. A federal judge sentenced 58-year-old Michael Crawford on Wednesday. He was convicted on one count of defrauding the government. The investigation started in 2017 after state police got a tip that large stashes of police-owned ammunition were being kept by former Scott County Coroner John Goble. Goble pleaded guilty in the case and was sentenced to one year of home incarceration.
