Kentucky State Police Apologize for tweet

Kentucky State Police -- The Kentucky Police department posted a tweet last night during the Super Bowl, aplogizing for an earlier post that was supposed to be an a warning about drunk driving. 

 

It read "Enjoy watching Rob Gronkowski play but if you drinkd an drive, your tight end might end up in jall!" 

A gif was attached to the tweet of a bar of soap falling to the floor insinuating a sexaul assault in prison.

The original tweet was deleted about four hours after it was posted, replaced by the apology tweet.

The department has since deleted the tweet and issued an apology four hours after it was posted.

The apology states making light of sexual assault is never acceptable and the KSP apologizes for any distress the tweet caused, particularly to victims of sexual assault crimes.

It concludes with saying the tweet does not represent the KSP or its mission.
