LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Louisville Metro Police have confirmed that an officer still in her probationary period was arrested after an incident at a bar Friday night.
Louisville Metro Dept. of Corrections records show an LMPD officer arrested 24-year-old Lauren Fanning on charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, assault 3rd degree on a police officer, assault 4th degree (minor injury) and alcohol intoxication in a public place. Fanning was released on her own recognizance Saturday morning, and is due to return to court Monday.
LMPD spokesperson Dwight Mitchell says Fanning's arrest happened after a fight outside Molly Malone's Irish Pub & Restaurant. According to Mitchell, Fanning, who is still on the probationary period with the department, was hired in 2009. Mitchell did not know the name of the LMPD officer that arrested Fanning.
Mitchell says Fanning has been placed on paid administrative leave, standard procedure for LMPD, until the case is resolved.
WAVE 3 contacted both Molly Malone locations, and owners were not aware of an incident inside their establishments.
