EPO petition dismissed against Anderson County deputy

ANDERSON COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ) – An Anderson County judge on Thursday dismissed a petition for an emergency protective order (EPO) against an Anderson County Sheriff’s deputy who was accused of sexual assault and stalking, according to court records.

In May, a Washington County teacher sought an EPO against Deputy Curt Bowen, also known as Jackie Bowen. She claimed Bowen stalked her and sexually assaulted her when he worked as a school resource officer for the Washington County School District in 2018.

The teacher also claimed once Bowen was hired at the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office this year, he started driving past her house and showing up at her church.

According to Sheriff Joe Milam, Bowen was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of Thursday’s ruling.
