Summary
Aeiramique Glass, Madison’s independent police monitor, said Thursday she will subpoena the police department for evidence gathered in Wednesday’s fatal shooting of a man being arrested.
Glass accused police of obstructing her investigation, saying the department has not turned over key materials and has not provided the name of the officer who fired the shots.
Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said he would cooperate with the inquiry “to the extent that I can,” setting up a dispute over how fully the department will comply.
The clash puts added scrutiny on oversight of the shooting in Wisconsin’s capital, with the subpoena poised to test the monitor’s access to police evidence.
