Kentucky Police Officer Arrested After POISON / SEBASTIAN BACH Concert Pleads Not Guilty

August 7, 2008

WSAZ.com reports that the Kentucky State Police officer who was arrested last month following the POISON / SEBASTIAN BACH concert at the Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center in Pikeville, Kentucky went before a judge Tuesday (August 5) to answer to charges of alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.

Kentucky State Police Sergeant Timothy Moore pleaded not guilty Tuesday.

Moore, a 10-year veteran of the agency who works out of Post 14, Ashland, was seen staggering on Huffman Avenue and being very loud following the July 20 concert, according to an arrest citation by Pikeville Police Officer Tony Conn.

Moore, the citation said, was being escorted by another male, who was "aiding (Moore) in keeping balance," reports that Appalachian News-Express.

Conn was asked to assist emergency medical services with an ambulance call, the citation said, at which time Moore said that he was not afraid of Conn, cursing him and referring to Conn with an anti-homosexual slur.

Moore was suspended with pay.

Tuesday in court, Moore's attorney said he is looking forward to resolving the situation.

"We will cooperate fully, as we have in the past," Terry Jacobs, Moore's attorney, said. "Sgt. Moore, as I've stated, has respected the system and respects the process. He's been very cooperative and continues to do so. We feel that once all the facts come to light, the situation will be resolved rather quickly."

Terry Jacobs says Sgt. Moore is ready to go back to his job with the Kentucky State Police.

Assistant county attorney Roger Varney said Sgt. Moore will not receive any special treatment because he is a state trooper.
