NEW EVIDENCE REVEALS COLUMBUS POLICE FILED MISLEADING REPORTS ON STORMY DANIELS ARREST

In internal documents obtained by The Appeal, the vice unit’s supervisor admits no specific complaints were lodged against Daniels or the club before the police took action.

Now, internal Columbus police documents, obtained by The Appeal, suggest that Stormy Daniels’s arresting officers also provided court authorities with a misleading rationale for their undercover operation.

On their arrest reports and sworn court affidavits, the officers claimed that they “entered Sirens Gentleman’s [sic] Club,” where Daniels was performing that night, “as a result of complaints received alleging prostitution and drug activity.”

But in an internal interview afterward with a department investigator, the unit’s supervising commander, Terry Moore, admitted “there was no specific complaint at Sirens being investigated on the date that the arrests occurred,” according to the documents. Nor was Moore aware of “any specific complaint” against Daniels “that had been received by the Vice Section from outside sources.”

...

A higher-up in the Columbus Division of Police also questioned Moore’s account “That’s not how we do business,” the official said. “We don’t randomly go to one club and harass them. Nothing came in on Sirens. We have to have a reason to go in.”

Political persecution is among the very worse thing a law enforcement agency can do.

Stormy Daniels was arrested and accused of touching strip-club patrons. The charges were dismissed.

"Daniels’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said Thursday morning on MSNBC that police had set up a “sting operation” at Sirens strip club, where Daniels was performing."

The Columbus' city attorney or the county D.A. dropped all charges
1st thing in the morning after Stormy's arrest. They wanted no part in that mess.

Was busy 'greying out' the local story about a Columbus Police Spokesman being busted with kiddy porn.

Notice the Ohio Police Office....
Ohio police officer pleads not guilty to child porn charges.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The former public information officer for the Columbus police department has pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of sending and receiving child pornography.

Fifty-one-year-old Dean Worthington was arraigned Friday in Columbus where a judge set bond at $35,000. The judge said that if Worthington makes bail, he must remain under house arrest until trial, can't have internet access and can't be in the presence of minors, including his teenage daughter, without another adult present.


Local paper is very very tight with C-bus PD.
