FRESNO, CA (KMJ) – Fresno City Council has closed two internal investigations stemming from the arrest of a City Council Candidate.
STATEMENT FROM THE FRESNO CITY COUNCIL ON INVESTIGATION REQUESTS
With respect to the concerns raised by Councilmember Arias regarding the conduct of the City Attorney pertaining to the arrest of Naindeep Singh, the Fresno City Council has reviewed the matter and has concluded that policies were followed by the City Attorney and the matter is closed. The City Attorney has withdrawn his letter seeking an investigation of Councilmember Arias, and that matter is closed as well.
City Council in its statement says it found no policy violations by City Attorney Andrew Janz in the release of information surrounding Candidate Naindeep Singh’s DUI arrest.
Singh was arrested in October on suspicion of DUI, but a subsequent blood test came back negative.
Councilmember Miguel Arias had called for an investigation into the City Attorney – questioning how details of the arrest reached the media.
In a letter on Friday, City Attorney Andrew Janz asked council for an investigation into Arias.
Janz has now withdrawn that request.
