Troopers remember Cameron Ponder in roadside ceremony

Kentucky State Police officers lined the shoulder of Interstate 24 in Lyon County on Tuesday morning to remember Kentucky State Trooper Cameron Ponder, who was killed in the line of duty 7 years ago.

WKDZ reported that during the brief ceremony a wreath was laid in front of Trooper Ponder’s roadside memorial at mile marker 49 as several troopers stood at attention.

Trooper Ponder was shot and killed on Sept. 13, 2015 after a traffic stop and pursuit. He was a Navy veteran from Rineyville who had just graduated from KSP Training Academy that year, and was stationed at Post 1 in Mayfield.
