North Carolina State Auditor Dave Boliek is looking into an alleged settlement between the city of Charlotte and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings, according to a letter sent to Mayor Vi Lyles.
In the letter, Boliek said there's a possibility that as much as $100,000 to $300,000 in public money may have been given to Jennings for a legal settlement by the City Council. Charlotte leaders have yet to confirm the settlement, citing employee privacy laws.
