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.

Wasn't Taylor also listed on the Warrant? That would make her an "intended target" of the Warrant so this argument is specious.

So True.

And Taylor wasn't asleep in bed when killed, she was standing next to the guy who was shooting at police. Another little discrepancy in the months of reporting concerning this case.

Because prior to the execution of the warrant the "intended target" had been observed using Taylor's residence to sell drugs on numerous occasions.
So at the very least Taylor and her boyfriend were allowing their residence to be used to facilitate illegal drug sales.
Another thing not being reported is that Taylor herself had been fired from the Louisville Fire Department for selling drugs out of her kit and IIRC from stuff she pilfered from the local hospitals.

@Cyber Liberty The search warrant was issued because police believed St. Breonna was holding drugs and money for her previous boyfriend, Glover. See below.

Recorded jail calls mention Breonna Taylor
The evidence it details includes the results of a tracking device placed on Glover’s Dodge Charger that shows it was driven to Taylor’s apartment six times in January.
The report also said detectives photographed Glover on Jan. 16 leaving Taylor's apartment with a “suspected USPS package†in his hand. He was then observed driving directly to a house at 2605 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd. that police say was used for drug transactions.
The report includes photographs of Glover entering and exiting Taylor’s building. In the application for the search warrant of Taylor's apartment, police said they suspected drugs and money were being shipped to the residence.
In a recorded jail call made March 13, Glover, 30, told a girlfriend that Taylor was holding $8,000 for him and had been “handling all my money.†No money was found at her residence during the police search.
Glover made that call about 12 hours after he was arrested at 2424 Elliott Ave. and after Taylor was shot and killed by police executing a search warrant at her apartment signed by Jefferson Circuit Judge Mary Shaw.
Aguiar has said previously that Glover and Taylor dated until about two years earlier and they maintained a "passive" friendship.
But the recordings and other evidence reviewed by The Courier Journal show Taylor and Glover maintained closer ties.
On Jan. 3, for example, following Glover’s arrest on trafficking and weapons charges, he called Taylor from the jail and asked her to contact one of his co-defendants to get bail money.
Taylor responded that the associate was “already at the trap†— slang for a house used for drug trafficking.
Glover told her to be on standby to pick him up if he made bail. “I'm going to get me some rest in your bed,†he said, according to the recording.
“Love you,†he said, at the end of the call. “Love you, too,†she replied.
[snip]
On Dec. 30, 2019, five days before her recorded jail conversation with Glover, Taylor posted a $2,500 bond for another man charged in the same case, 34-year-old Darreal Forest.
His attorney, Casey McCall, did not immediately respond to a question about how his client knew Taylor.
Glover, Forest and three other men were charged with trafficking and weapons offenses after police received a tip from a confidential informant that they were hiding drugs and firearms in abandoned homes adjacent to the "trap house" they allegedly operated at 2424 Elliott Ave.
Police seized five handguns and three rifles, according to evidence filed in the case.
The jail recordings show that on March 13, Glover, while trying to round up cash to make bail on a new set of trafficking charges, called a girlfriend and told him Taylor had his money.
"She had the eight grand I gave her the other day, and she picked up another six," Glover said.
“Did “Did she tell you where it was?†the caller asked him.
“She didn't have the chance to tell me nothing,†he replied. “She dead.â€
When the caller asked Glover why he had left the money with Taylor, he said: “Don’t take it wrong but Bre’ been handling all my money. She has been handling s---- for me and … it ain’t just me."
Records previously examined by The Courier Journal show no money or drugs were found in the search of Taylor’s apartment after her death.
Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, one of the three officers who fired shots into Taylor’s apartment —later told investigators from the Public Integrity Unit, which investigates potential crimes by government employees, that police believed Taylor may have held drugs and money for Glover.

Great find. Thanks for posting this. It backs up what I've been trying to describe as far as why they were targeting Taylor's apartment for the bust.

I've yet to see a media description of Taylor as anything but as an EMT or former EMT. Nothing about her being fired or being an accessory to drug crimes. She knowingly allowed illegal drugs to be sold out her apartment. That makes her a criminal. I've had to read comments on conservative blogs to find that information.

Oh for God's sake what good will charging this particular officer with crime do?

As it is, it .makes left-wing lawyers happy. More billable hours for ambulance chasers.

The State sure is energetically creative when it comes to prosecuting cops trying to do their jobs and people who dare defend themselves against anarchists.

Admission of such negligence in shaping the narrative would leave the MSM on the hook for damages.
The entire rioting thingy hinges on the mentality of the crowds of 'offended' people, who might have been less offended if the entire truth was known.
