KSP continues community outreach through new podcast
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky State Police invites Kentuckians to pull up a seat and join the conversation with the launch of its new podcast, Trooper Talk. Each episode will give listeners an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the agency through candid conversations with the men and women who serve while also offering crime prevention tips, public safety insights and information about career opportunities with KSP.
Trooper Talk will feature officers and employees from across the state, with two 20-plus-year veterans hosting the debut episode. Trooper Corey King, Post 16 Henderson, joins Trooper Scottie Pennington, Post 11 London, to pull back the curtain on their journeys as state troopers.
“Trooper Talk goes beyond the flashing lights and headlines to talk about the people behind the badge,” Trooper King said. “Every member of the Kentucky State Police has a story to tell – what inspired them to serve, the challenges they’ve faced, and the moments that have shaped their careers. Through real conversations, we hope listeners gain a better understanding of who we are and why serving Kentucky means so much to us.”
Future episodes will expand to highlight historic solved cases and revisit current cold cases – showcasing KSP’s investigative successes while encouraging the public to share information that could help bring long-awaited answers to unsolved cases.
Episode one of Trooper Talk, “Shining the Brass,” is available today on KSP’s website, Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Episodes will be released every other Tuesday, with episode two, “The Great Honey Bun Fail,” being available July 28.

Louisville man sentenced for bringing meth to Eastern Kentucky
LEXINGTON, Ky. — A Louisville man will spend more than 13 years in prison, after he pleaded guilty to transporting meth into Eastern Kentucky.
Robert Pilgrim, 36, was pulled over on the Mountain Parkway in Magoffin County in August of 2023. During that stop, police discovered a large amount of meth in the car.
He was indicted on a single count of possession of more than 500 grams of meth with the intent to distribute. He agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge of possession of more than 50 grams of meth with the intent to distribute.
During his sentencing hearing in Lexington last week, U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell sentenced Pilgrim to 162 months in prison.
He is currently being held in the Woodford County Detention Center, awaiting transfer to the federal prison system.
