Overview
- An Oldham County grand jury returned indictments charging 19-year-old Tyler Schneble with multiple felonies based on court records alleging repeated abuse of a victim.
- Tyler Schneble is charged with three counts of first-degree strangulation, tampering with a witness, cruelty to animals, four counts of terroristic threatening, and violation of an emergency protective order.
- Court records say the alleged incidents occurred from 2025 into 2026, included harm to the victim's cat, and that the victim obtained an emergency protective order which prosecutors say was later violated.
- Tyler's father, identified in reporting as former La Grange officer Michael Schneble, was indicted on a felony count of intimidating a participant in the legal process and four counts of official misconduct for alleged threats in May and for failing to report earlier incidents.
- The indictments start a criminal process that is ongoing and unproven in court, and they raise scrutiny of police reporting duties and how alleged domestic violence and witness interference are handled locally.
