KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to end former police detective Roger Golubski’s house arrest.

The former Kansas City, Kansas, officer is accused in court documents of violating the by having lunch at Culver’s restaurant at the Legends on Jan. 23, 2024.

The motion said a concerned citizen recognized Golubski and took pictures and videos documenting the outing.

Prosecutors stated they followed up with Golubski’s probation officer and learned he had obtained permission to go to a doctor’s appointment but did not have pre-approval to go to Culver’s.

The filing stated that Golubski claimed he made the lunch stop because his blood sugar was low due to his diabetes.

Prosecutors argued against that excuse:

“If the defendant had truly had a diabetic emergency on his way home from the doctor’s office, he would have needed food immediately and would presumably have stopped at a convenience store and bought the first thing he saw or driven the ten minutes to his home rather than prolonging his drive home by 35 minutes and standing at a lunch counter waiting for a meal.”

Prosecutors have asked asking the judge to order Golubski to jail pointing to the lunch stop as an example of how the former detective “can do as he pleases and not be held able.”

Golubski faces six federal charges related to rape, kidnapping and sex trafficking.
