GRUBB STATUS

NEAR COLUMBUS, THE BLENDON TOWNSHIP POLICE DEPARTMENT IS STRIPPING PAY FROM AN OFFICER ACCUSED OF MURDER.
CONNOR GRUBB IS CHARGED FOR SHOOTING AND KILLING TA'KIYA YOUNG IN AUGUST OF 2023. HE WILL STAND TRIAL IN NOVEMBER. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT PLACED HIM ON PAID LEAVE FOLLOWING THE SHOOTING. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES VOTED TO REVOKE HIS PAY, CITING FINANCIAL ISSUES WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT DUE TO A FAILED LEVY. ATTORNEYS FOR TA'KIYA YOUNG'S FAMILY FURIOUS AT THE BOARD'S DECISION, RELEASING A STATEMENT SAYING QUOTE: "THE TOWNSHIP'S DECISION TO MOVE GRUBB FROM PAID TO UNPAID LEAVE IS A PUBLIC RELATIONS MOVE DISGUISED AS FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY." END QUOTE.
