A third-party probe found no misconduct in Charlotte’s $305K settlement with Police Chief Johnny Jennings, though transparency gaps were noted.
A third-party investigation found no evidence of unethical, illegal, or immoral conduct by Charlotte city officials in connection with a $305,000 settlement for Police Chief Johnny Jennings, despite concerns raised by Councilmember Victoria Watlington.
The report, conducted by Cranfill Sumner, concluded the settlement process was appropriate and properly informed, though it noted room for improved transparency.
Jennings had threatened legal action after receiving threatening messages from a former council member during a dispute over police vests.
Mayor Vi Lyles affirmed the findings, emphasizing the importance of addressing serious claims, while Watlington accepted the results but called for greater clarity in the report’s analysis.
The investigation did not examine whether council members were informed about a dismissed ethics complaint related to the messages.
