NEW: Louisville police officer quits before being fired for drinking and driving on duty. Another officer was suspended for 15 days after performing a full body strip search during a traffic stop last year, according to records.

The judge ordered that the lawsuits and issues while working with LMPD should be filed under seal and considered in the sentencing guidelines if there is an appeal. DOJ prosecutors did not react to or defend themsevles from any of the criticism by the judge.

Hankison was on the police merit board for years, determining whether other officers punishment by LMPD was fair. He was lauded for that yesterday. But he had issues while on the board that also were not mentioned.

Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings said that while numerous commendations were included in his pre-sentencing report, complaints and disciplinary issues were left out. "I'm not sure why they weren't reported in the first place," she said.
