Did a Lexington Police Officer's Brother Get Special Treatment in Road Rage Case?

Witnesses to a road rage incident in Lexington earlier this year say the brother of a town police officer appeared to receive special treatment.

Fox 25 reported Doug Orr was charged with a lane violation after crashing into Richard Tighe in April. But witnesses said Orr threatened Tighe, said he hit him on purpose, and would have attacked Tighe had they not intervened.

Orr is the brother of Police Officer Kim Orr.

Officer John Frissore arrived at the crash scene and did not mention the alleged threatening in his report. Police Chief Mark Corr said Frissore didn’t give Orr special treatment.

Tighe said he’s in the process of petitioning for more serious charges against Orr.
