A short update to the story of Joey Porter’s arrest. While a full police report has been filed, the Pittsburgh Police Review Board will be investigating the officer’s claims, according to Pittsburgh’s WPXI.

The investigation will be launched to ensure Pittsburgh Police followed correct procedures in Porter’s arrest.

From WPXI:

“Beth Pittinger, executive director of the citizen police review board, said the investigation has been launched to ensure all policies and procedures were followed. She said the high-profile nature of the case led to the decision.”

The board, per WPXI, does not have the ability to file charges, they can recommend any based on their own findings.
