Capt. Brian Norris, commander of CPD's Special Services section, is still working while the investigation is underway, CPD confirms.

P.G. Sittenfeld, another council member who was arrested on unrelated corruption charges in 2020, is still awaiting a conviction ruling from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Keith Schoonover told police that he did not use a burner phone to set up the "date," citing his experience setting up prostitution stings when he was in law enforcement.

“There's a clear need for increased public safety efforts for those under the protection of the Secret Service," Landsman said in the news release. "In Southwest Ohio, the Cincinnati Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies have been essential to the critical mission of keeping Vice President-elect J.D. Vance safe, and this will continue after he's sworn in as vice president. The federal government should be taking on these public safety costs, not Cincinnati's police officers and taxpayers.”

CPD said Norris has been moved to an "administrative assignment pending the outcome of this case."
