A Metro Police officer is facing criminal charges because of a ride a-long that went a little too far.
On Monday, a grand jury indicted Lt. Jeff Manning on one count of criminal facilitation to impersonating a police officer.
The indictment says Manning allowed his son to impersonate an officer earlier this year.

Sources said he took his son on patrol and allowed him to handcuff suspects, a departmental violation, as well as a criminal offense in the eyes of this grand jury.
Typically, persons who go on “rode-a-longs” are their to observe and are never put in harms way or allowed to actively participate in any type of police office duties.
The charge is a misdemeanor according to the Kentucky state statues.
Metro Police have suspended Manning pending the outcome of the case.

Metro Louisville police did not release any other details about Manning’s personnel file or his son.
