From the City of St. Anthony’s website:
The City of St. Anthony has changed Officer Jeronimo Yanez’s status with the city’s police department. He will now return to administrative leave. The decision to change Officer Yanez’s status was made after reviewing concerns and other feedback from the community. Out of respect to the sensitive nature of the tragic incident and the concerns from the community, the Mayor, City Council and City Manager have decided to make this change. Officer Yanez’s status with the department will be reviewed when the investigation process related to the incident is complete.
Editor’s Note: The Northeaster reported on a demonstration Friday, Aug. 19 in the printed edition Aug. 24. The Aug. 23 City Council meeting (after the Northeaster was printed) went well past 9 p.m., in large part due to community and other concerned speakers talking about Yanez, who shot Philando Castile, returning to work, albeit at a desk job.
