Columbus police officer charged with nine counts of dereliction of duty
A Columbus police officer who investigated serious injury and fatal crashes for the past nine years has been charged with nine counts of dereliction of duty, police say.
The Columbus Division of Police reported Thursday that the Columbus City Attorney’s office has filed charges against Officer Connie Brant, a 24-year division veteran who for the past nine years was assigned to the Accident Investigation Unit.However, it was not immediately known what Brant is accused of doing because no charging documents were immediately available Thursday through Franklin County Municipal Court hours after police announced she was charged.
Columbus police also did not provide any information about the specifics behind the charges, other than to say they were the result of an internal investigation completed at the direction of police Chief Elaine Bryant.The division's Internal Affairs Bureau has begun an administrative investigation of Brant now that criminal charges have been filed, police said.
Columbus police said updated information will be provided on this case, and The Dispatch will update the story as charging documents become available.
