District Four City Councilor Toiya Tucker posted on social media this afternoon saying there have been at least two arrets in conjunction with the investigation.

“It is unfortunate. Nobody wants to see anyone get arrested or go to jail or lose their job for not doing things correctly,” Tucker told WRBL. “But when you are completely warned continuously and you do not heed the warning, this is what happens.”

The entire phone call with Tucker can be heard below.

In addition to Henderson, Columbus Police Chief Stony Mathis and Deputy Chief Lance Deaton will appear at the conference.
