“Additionally, our administration convened an emergency meeting with its contracted Human Resources firm to ensure all personnel protocols are being followed appropriately without delay,” the spokesperson added.
City officials will continue to look into this matter.
“While we respect the legal process and the rights of all individuals involved, we are dedicated to upholding the standards of public service and trust that our residents expect and deserve,” the spokesperson said.
Mosher remains booked in the Ashland County Jail at the time of writing.
