Hardin Co. native, KSP Trooper killed 5 years ago

This weekend marked 5 years since the death of Hardin County native and Kentucky State Trooper Joseph “Cameron” Ponder. Ponder was conducting a traffic stop in Lyon County in 2015 when he was fatally shot by the driver of the vehicle he had pulled over. Ponder was just 9 months into his career with Kentucky State Police. Ponder was a graduate of North Hardin High School, and will soon have a roadway leading to KSP Post 4 named after him.
