"The city of Wilmington takes all allegations of misconduct against employees very seriously, which is why we have sought independent investigations into allegations against our officers and staff," said Mayor John Stanforth.
Stanforth said separate investigations of alleged misconduct involve:
- Police Officers Josh Riley and Anthony Mitchell, who are on administrative leave
- Former Officer Jerry Popp, and
- Anna Collins, the department's administrative assistant, who also is on administrative leave
The city has declined to discuss the specific allegations against employees until the completion of the investigations.
Sgt. Ron Cravens has been appointed acting chief of the Wilmington Police Department.
