2 Killeen police department officers arrested. 2 blurry mugs. Why?
Two Killeen police officers were arrested in July; however, their Killeen City Jail booking mugs are not exactly coming out crystal clear.
The Killeen Police Department last week announced the arrest of 29-year-old KPD officer Laura Smith on a child abuse charge stemming from a July 28 incident at a Killeen home. Smith, who was off duty at the time, is accused of throwing a belt at her husband. The thrown belt hit a 5-year-old girl, injuring the child, according to the arrest affidavit.
After a Herald request for Smiths booking photo, KPD emailed the blurry mugshot.
When asked why the mugshot was blurry, KPD spokeswoman Ofelia Miramontez stated in an email: The photo could be blurry for a couple of reasons; the lighting, operator error, time of day. She was not more specific.
