Shively Police Department attempted to conduct a traffic stop at Dixie Highway and Gagel Avenue. The driver of the vehicle collided with another vehicle.
In a letter to Detective Joshua Jaynes, LMPD interim Chief Yvette Gentry said she has the utmost confidence in my decision to terminate your employment for breaching department polices on truthfulness and search warrant preparations.
An attorney representing the detective, however, said Wednesday he thought the allegations against Jaynes are demonstrably wrong. I was not surprised that the pre-termination letter was delivered; we d heard rumors about that, said Jaynes lawyer, Thomas Clay. What did kind of surprise me were the grounds that are alleged as the basis for this termination action, Clay added. There are two of them: One, that he should have been at 3003 Springfield Drive when that search warrant was executed, and second was that he was untruthful in a statement he included in the search warrant affidavit.

Detective Myles Cosgrove, one of the officers who opened fire during the raid, and Detective Josh Jaynes, who obtained the search warrant for Taylor s home, have both received pre-termination letters, their attorneys said.
Jaynes pre-termination letter, signed by Interim Police Chief Yvette Gentry, accuses him of lying on the application for the search warrant, according to a copy of the letter obtained by CBS News. In the application, Jaynes claimed he received information from a U.S. Postal Inspector that Jamarcus Glover, Taylor s ex-boyfriend, had been receiving suspicious packages at Taylor s apartment.
