Two Columbus police officers have been fired and two 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.
All four say they intend to appeal their discipline to an arbitrator, said Keith Ferrell, president of Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge No. 9, the union that represents them. “We do not think the discipline is warranted to that level,” Ferrell told The Dispatch. The process of arbitration can take months.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, had received a payment of $130,000 from Donald Trump’s personal attorney at the time, Michael Cohen, prior to the November 2016 presidential election to stay quiet about a sexual liaison she claimed she had with Trump a decade earlier.
