Kentucky State Police Post 4 took part in a unique fundraising campaign this week. The Cover the Cruiser campaign was used to raise money for the Kentucky Special Olympics. Trooper Scotty Sharp says the 1-day event, which was held at the Five Star at the corner of St. John and Ring Road, raised over $1,000 for Special Olympics. The event was used as a substitute for the annual Torch Run, which had to be cancelled due to covid-19.
