Metro Police are also being investigated for their handling of the case. They produced three different police reports for the incident. The first included details about an assault, the second said only that officers responded to a family disturbance and there was no probable cause for an arrest, and then the third version says a report of an assault is being investigated.
An arrest warrant has been sent to the U.S. attorney’s office, but was sent back to police "for further investigation."
