A lawyer representing Put-in-Bay cited "attorney-client privilege" as justification not to release the findings of an internal investigation into police misconduct.
The incident resulted in the arrest of six Black men on aggravated rioting charges who were released two days later with all charges dropped following a protest for their release outside the Ottawa County Courthouse.
Joining the civil suit filed Nov. 5 by Diamone Wilson, Ryan Hollingshead, Panzie Hunter and Paris Hunter against the Village of Put-in-Bay and officers Terry Rutledge Jr. and Michael Russo are Shalon Shelton, Dameyion Smith, Spencer Robinson, Aaron Tucker and Trae Caffey, who were involved during the incident that began as a traffic stop for running a stop sign and having too many passengers on a golf cart and escalated to several officers using stun guns against members of the group.
