The Kentucky State Police investigation began on December 3, 2023, when detention center officials alerted police regarding a contraband cellphone found inside the facility.

The lengthy investigation resulted in the arrest on Tuesday of 56-year-old Jose A. Soto, an employee at the detention facility.

He was charged with first-degree promoting contraband, a class D felony, and lodged in the Warren County Regional Jail.
