The next officer to be charged over Breonna Taylor? Cop who requested search warrant for EMT's home in search for her drug dealing ex - who was arrested at a different address - is now under investigation
• LMPD Detective Joshua Jaynes, who applied for the search warrant that led to Breonna Taylor's death, was placed on administrative duty in June
• He is one of six officers being investigated for violation of department policies
• Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron on Wednesday confirmed the attainment of the warrant is now being investigated by federal law enforcement
• Cameron said he will soon sign an executive order to create a task force that will review the process for securing and executing search warrants in the state
• Jaynes was reported to have obtained a search warrant for Taylor's apartment in pursuit of her ex-boyfriend and drug suspect Jamarcus Glover
• It was later revealed Glover was already in custody by the time Louisville officers killed Taylor in a hail of bullets
The Louisville police officer who obtained the 'no-knock' search warrant that led cops to Breonna Taylor's home could be the next to potentially face charges as the police department and FBI launches an investigation into the case.
LMPD Detective Joshua Jaynes was identified as the officer who had requested a search warrant to Taylor's apartment hours before her death on March 12, in pursuit of her ex-boyfriend and drug suspect Jamarcus Glover.
Cops later carried out the raid in the early hours of March 13, bursting through the door and killing the 26-year-old EMT in a hail of bullets as she stood alongside her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker.
Jaynes, who was not present during the raid, was placed on administrative reassignment in June after the department launched an investigation into how the controversial warrant was obtained.
Although the officers had been widely reported to have executed the warrant without knocking, it has since been revealed the cops did indeed bang on the door before entering.
However, questions still remain over why cops were allowed to execute the warrant at a residence where the intended target did not live.
