There will be no investigation by New Castle County into the traffic stop that caused the dismissal of former chief administrative officer David Grimaldi.
The county council turned back a call for an outside investigation into the offer by Elsmere Mayor Steve Burg to “yank” the ticket given to Grimaldi.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that on October 27th police discovered that Grimaldi was driving with a suspended license for failing to pay a ticket after he was pulled over.
It was during the stop that Grimaldi allegedly told the officer, ”You know your mayor works for me.”
County Executive Tom Gordon says he dismissed Grimaldi over the incident for trying to use his political influence.
Grimaldi denies the charge but said that the Elsmere Mayor had offered to yank the ticket.
