Embattled State Police Sgt. Yuriy Bukhenik has been kicked out of the Norfolk DA’s office as fallout from the Karen Read case spreads.

A Mass. State Police sergeant involved in the investigation of Karen Read has been reassigned from his position at the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office. Sergeant Yuri Bukhenik was moved to the state police’s Division of Standards and Training effective Sunday, July 6, a Massachusetts State Police spokesperson told Boston 25 News on Monday.

Bukhenik was previously disciplined in connection with the vulgar texts one of his State Police subordinates sent about Karen Read.
