EXCLUSIVE: An Ohio police officer got fired—and reinstated—for taking money at a side gig decades ago. Then he fatally shot Donovan Lewis while the unarmed, 20-year-old Black man was in bed last month.
The Columbus cop who fatally shot
She was furious about the fact that, like most officers who use lethal force, Anderson continues to get paid. The 137-page file states that in May 2004, Anderson was terminated “for cause” after a hearing with the Department of Public Safety. While details of the incident are not mentioned in the report, a police spokesperson told The Daily Beast that the incident “was not related to use of force” and that Anderson was reinstated after he and the Fraternal Order of Police challenged his termination.
Court records show a misdemeanor arrest warrant for Lewis on charges of domestic violence, improperly handling a firearm, and assault. An August criminal complaint filed in Franklin County Municipal Court says that Lewis’ girlfriend told police the two had an argument at Westgate Park, where he shoved her.
And while she said Lewis had briefly struggled with homelessness, he was a hard worker who often worked odd jobs for his sister to make money. She also asks the dispatcher—at times barely getting words out between sobs—for information about whether there had been a police-involved shooting on the Westside of Columbus. She also is heard asking what hospital he might be at.
