The city’s City Manager, Isaiah Hugley, supervised Ivey during her tenure.
CNAW2News has confirmed via jail records an additional current city employee has been issued a warrant. We understand that city employee’s arrest is coming soon.
These warrants and arrests are not connected to a criminal investigation involving the discovery that millions of dollars related to business licenses and application fees are missing, with conflicting reports about the discrepancies.
This is a developing story.
Editor’s Note: The charges filed today against both Columbus women are not about anything money-involved.
Ivey was charged with a “simple battery” incident that was revealed during the larger money investigation. Due to that being revealed, another investigation was launched and it led to an arrest.
Alexander was charged with a “willful obstruction of law enforcement” incident due to an incident that happened WITHIN the larger investigation.
If their arrests involved any missing money, they would be charged with that. As of right now, they aren’t.
