Former officer accused of leaving a man to die prepares for trial

Kentucky State Police investigators said on March 12, after pursuing 22-year-old Ryan Mitchell across the river, Savage failed to render aid and kept driving after Mitchell crashed off the side of a two-lane road. Mitchell was found dead at the scene, his car fully engulfed, KSP said. Savage resigned from his position with the Ripley Police Department on May 26, the day the indictment came down.
