Clermont police commissioner interrupts arrest of friends
Steve Jefferson/Eyewitness News
Clermont, Jan. 16 - A Crawfordsville Road house in Clermont is in the
middle of yet another investigation. It involves the friends of a
Clermont Police commissioner caught semi-nude.
Clermont Police Captain Brian Whittemore explains that suspects, "At the
residence on Crawfordsville Road were exposing themselves."
An officer spotted the group Sunday just after midnight. Three women
posed half dressed on the front porch for snapshots. The officers
ordered them to dress, smelled alcohol and administered breathalyzer
tests.
Eventually Commissioner Diane Tyra confronted the officer about
detaining her friends and putting one of them in handcuffs.
Captain Whittemore says that he "told that officer what action he choose
he would be supported 100 percent."
In the case report the officer told Commissioner Tyra the group broke
the law and that they could be arrested for intoxication in a public
place.
This was the same house where a Clermont Police officer recently
uncovered a meth lab. It's right next door to headquarters.
The newspapers out front show the house is obviously empty.
Commissioner Tyra lives just a few feet from both the police department
and where the officers found her friends half-dressed. And according to
the same case report, Commissioner Tyra stated that the people are her
friends and they are good people.
Commission Board President Heather Barrett says commissioners shouldn't
interfere with police work. "We back off and let them do their job and
we can ask later what is going on and what has happened."
But instead of ending up in a police car, the commissioner took the
suspects home with her.
