Preble County Police Chief and Officer Placed on Leave After Unauthorized School Visits
Chief Tonina Lamanna and Officer Jeffrey Baylor from Preble County have been placed on administrative leave following their unauthorized visits to several Cincinnati Public Schools. The visits occurred on April 15, where they attempted to conduct 'wellness checks' on students, claiming to be working for ICE. Their actions were not sanctioned by the Village of Gratis, which is located in southeastern Preble County. The school district's Superintendent, Shauna Murphy, reported that the officers tried to enter two elementary schools and one high school but were denied entry. The Village of Gratis officials were informed of the incident by other law enforcement agencies, leading to the decision to place the officers on leave.
