October 21, 2009 Akron Ohio mayor says he was “Set-Up” on traffic stop www.privateofficer.com
AKRON, Ohio – Oct 21 2009
The mayor of Akron said a 911 call reporting him for erratic driving over the weekend was orchestrated for political purposes.
In a statement released Monday, Mayor Don Plusquellic said an Akron firefighter and his girlfriend set him up, following him from a restaurant and then dialing 911 to report him to police.
Plusquellic said he was celebrating an Akron police officer’s birthday at the restaurant Saturday night and was on his way home when a police officer stopped him on West Market Street.
Plusquellic said the officer approached his car and told him about the 911 call, and after asking him several questions, the officer decided not to take any further action and let Plusquellic go.
The mayor said the firefighter and his girlfriend took video footage of Plusquellic at the restaurant before placing the 911 call, apparently before they even observed Plusquellic driving.
Plusquellic said the police officer handled the situation properly and responsibly.
