A former LaRue County Deputy Sheriff pleaded guilty to three misdemeanors Monday in LaRue Circuit Court.
Joshua Matthew Darst, 32, of Hodgenville, a six-year veteran of the department, was charged in April with first-degree official misconduct, a misdemeanor; and theft by unlawful taking – auto, and tampering with physical evidence, both Class D felonies.
Darst was accused with recovering a stolen motorcycle “with the intent to deprive the owner of its use by keeping it himself,” according to a press release by Kentucky State Police.
