<\/span>Columbus Police arrested the adult entertainer \u2014 who claims to have had an affair with then-private citizen Donald Trump in 2006 \u2014 on July 12. Police said that Daniels violated an Ohio law by \u201ctouching\u201d club-goers, who were actually undercover VICE officers. The charges were dismissed 12 hours later after Daniels hired Columbus defense attorney Chase Mallory. Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein said the elements were not met in the charges and that is why the cases were tossed out. Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs apologized and called it a \u201cmistake.\u201d<\/span>
<\/span>\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span>
<\/span>A whistleblower from the City of Columbus contacted the Advocate with numerous emails between several high-ranking Columbus police detectives and VICE officers.<\/span>
<\/span>Inside the emails are news clippings discussing Daniels\u2019 planned appearance in Columbus, pictures of Daniels with President Donald Trump, videos of her dancing, and even a map to the club where she would be performing, all sent days before she would pull into town on her tour bus.<\/span>
<\/span>The bulk of the emails that the whistleblower provided are from the email account of Detective Shana Keckley. Keckley was one of the lead-arresting officers the night that the \u201csting\u201d operation went down.<\/span>
<\/span>\u201cIt is clear that Keckley and her fellow officers were there because of Stormy and only because of Stormy,\u201d the whistleblower told the Advocate in an interview.<\/span>
<\/span>Police said that Daniels was caught up in an investigation into human trafficking and prostitution the night she was arrested, but the emails released draw questions as to if Keckley and others targeted Daniels.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
