A Louisville officer told a woman he was 'coming to help' her. He kneeled on her neck.


June 8, 2023 -- Cha’Precious Trabue was a victim of LMPD misconduct in a 2019 incident where two officers violated multiple LMPD policies during a stop. During the encounter, LMPD Officer Noah Straman pinned Trabue down by a knee to her neck. After he got off her, she lost consciousness.

It was finally the end of a long, rough day.

Cha’Precious Trabue, then 22, spent all day at her grandma’s house in Louisville, Kentucky’s West End trying to change her car’s radiator; shuttling back and forth to auto parts stores, she leaned on YouTube videos to figure out how to fix it.

After the sun set March 1, 2019, she used the lights on her grandmother’s Impala to illuminate the area while she worked. With her car running again, she reversed her grandma’s car into the alley so her own vehicle wasn’t blocked in.
