Myles Cosgrove, the shooter officer whose bullet killed Breonna Taylor and left the Louisville Metro PD and landed a new job as deputy with Carroll County, just shocked a whole neighborhood when he barreled into a residential trailer park at high speed, rammed the vehicle of a resident with such force that it was sent flying into a wall, breaking off cinders. Cosgrove’s patrol car then hit another vehicle, damaging it also. He topped this Rambo performance with pointing his gun at neighbors and bystanders.
For unclear reasons, he then arrested William Joshua Short, whose truck he had just destroyed by hitting it. Short was charged with fleeing and evading an officer under the protest of eyewitnesses who said he had made no efforts to flee and that clearly, Officer Myles Cosgrove had been seen as the aggressor.
The passenger in the vehicle Cosgrove rammed said they were rammed so hard that they are lucky to be alive. The truck owner and passengers stated someone had prank-called police and reported they had a gun which turned out to be a cell phone.
William Short was arraigned Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to five felonies including criminal mischief and wanton endangerment. His bond was set at $5,000 cash and he is set to appear Oct. 25 for a pretrial hearing.
After killing Breonna Taylor, Cosgrove wrote a book about the experience only for publishers to back outunder protests that this officer should not earn money from an unjust murder.
William Short has to go to a pretrial hearing on October 25, 2023 for contrived charges by Deputy Cosgrove who apparently fell for a swatting prank and destroyed at least 2 vehicles, charging the owner of one of them for his new mistakes.
Updates to this case will be posted in this space when they become available.
