The woman convicted of running over a police officer in Bullitt County has been sentenced.
Officer Rocco Besednjak suffered serious injuries to his neck and spine when he was hit and dragged by Tiara Litsey.
Litsey blames a psychotic episode brought on by her ongoing use of crystal meth.

During the sentencing Wednesday, she apologized to the officer and his family. Officer Besednjak is retiring with disability because he can no longer work.
“When I was told by my doctor that I couldn’t be a police officer anymore and he recommended I put in for disability, it really hurt. But there’s always new things coming out in medicine, so I try to stay optimistic that there will be a way for me to either not have any more pain or to lessen the pain,” he said.
Litsey was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
