Prosecutor awaits report on police handling of Ottenwess incident

An investigation of the Traverse City Police Department is nearing completion.

Officers did not arrest then-City Manger JeredOttenwess after responding to a 911 call at his home February 16th. Ottenwess later pleaded “no contest” to charges of domestic violence and attempting to resist police.

Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Bob Cooney says two lieutenants from the sheriff’s department are conducting the investigation.

“And I expect to get a report fairly soon … possibly within the next couple of days (or) maybe a week at the outside,” said Cooney.

Cooney says he will not comment on specifics until he receives a report from the sheriff’s office. 

“There are just certain things that would normally take place in a domestic violence investigation that did not happen in this case," he said.
