2 Columbus officers fired, 2 supervisors suspended over Stormy Daniels case
Source: Columbus Dispatch
Two Columbus police officers have been fired and two police supervisors disciplined in connection with their handling of the July 2018 arrest of adult film performer Stormy Daniels at a local strip club.
Columbus Public Safety Director Ned Pettus signed orders Thursday to fire former vice unit Officers Steven Rosser, 43, a 19-year veteran, and Whitney Lancaster, 57, a member of the division for 32 years.
In addition, Lt. Ronald Kimmerling, 51, a 24-year veteran, was suspended for six weeks, and Sgt. Scott Soha, 43, who has been with the division for 17 years, received a three-week suspension, according to findings signed by Pettus. The suspensions were over their lack of supervision of the vice operation involving Daniels.
The case is far from over, though. All four officers say they intend to appeal their discipline to an arbitrator, said Keith Ferrell, president of Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge No. 9.
