The citation Lena Taylor got for disorderly conduct may have sparked a Milwaukee Police internal affairs investigation.
Taylor is accused of using a racial slur against a bank employee on April 6.
Exclusive video CBS 58 has obtained shows an officer handing Taylor a ticket and while Taylor was given the citation, according to the police report, she was told by Captain Formolo the day of the incident that the Captain would look at the five hours of surveillance video and witness statements and the citation itself would be under review.
Now MPD wants to know who leaked the ticket to the media before the investigation was complete.
Taylor says once the ticket was leaked to the media, it compelled the City to uphold the ticket. CBS 58 has contacted MPD to try to confirm the internal affairs investigation, but we have not heard back.
Bill Walsh will have more on this exclusive story with Senator Taylor on the CBS 58 News at 10 on Tuesday.
