Former La Grange Ky Police Officer and Son Indicted by Kentucky Attorney General for Offenses Related to Domestic Violence

Incidents took place over several months

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman has announced the indictments of a father and son in Oldham County related to domestic violence.

On Friday, an Oldham County Grand Jury indicted Tyler Schneble, 19, on felony charges related to multiple domestic violence incidents, including strangulation. Schneble was indicted on three counts of Strangulation First Degree (Class C Felony), one count of Tampering with a Witness (Class D Felony), one count of Cruelty to Animals Second Degree (Class A Misdemeanor), four counts of Terroristic Threatening Third Degree (Class A Misdemeanor), and one count of Violation of an Emergency Protective Order (Class A Misdemeanor).

According to court records, from 2025 through 2026, Tyler Schneble strangled the victim on multiple occasions, threatened her and abused her cat. After the victim obtained an Emergency Protective Order, he violated the order.

The same Grand Jury indicted Michael Schneble, 48, on one count of Intimidating a Participant in the Legal Process (Class D Felony) and four counts of Official Misconduct First Degree (Class A Misdemeanor).

According to court documents, in May 2026, Michael Schneble threatened the same victim “in an attempt to influence her testimony, decision, or opinion.”  On four occasions from July 2025 to October 2025, while serving as an Officer with the La Grange Police Department, he failed to report the incidents of domestic violence involving his son.

La Grange Police Department investigated the case. Assistant Attorney General Lindsey Studebaker of the Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Unit presented the case on behalf of the Commonwealth.

The charges in an indictment are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
