Event: August 15, 2026 · First reported: August 19, 2026 · 2 sources
Christopher Embry, 35, was arrested Tuesday after Louisville Metro Police executed a search warrant tied to an Aug. 15 shooting reported around 1:37 a.m. in the 8200 block of Greenwood Road, where police say he was recorded firing at a Flock camera at a park. Detectives reported recovering five damaged Flock cameras and components such as solar panels inside his residence, with equipment damage estimated at $4,850. Charges include first-degree criminal mischief, first-degree wanton endangerment, third-degree criminal trespassing and discharging a firearm across a public road. Embry pleaded not guilty and bond was set at $50,000.
Physical attacks on automated license plate reader cameras have become a recurring flashpoint as the networks expand, and cases like this test how prosecutors weigh property damage against public-safety charges. The allegations here remain unproven, and the defendant has entered a not-guilty plea.
