Probe of officer's KKK item might lead to review of death
Updated 6:22 pm CDT, Sunday, August 11, 2019
MUSKEGON, Mich. (AP) — A prosecutor says an internal investigation of a white police officer whose house had an apparent Ku Klux Klan document on display will help determine whether there will be further review of the officer's 2009 fatal shooting of a black man.
The Muskegon Police Department opened an internal investigation of Officer Charles Anderson after a potential homebuyer, who is black, reported seeing a framed KKK application at Anderson's home.
Anderson was placed on paid administrative leave.
MLive.com reports Muskegon County Prosecutor D.J. Hilson says the investigation's results will drive reconsideration of the 2009 case.
