City Manager Valerie Lemmie has ordered Cincinnati Police Chief Thomas Streicher to kiss and make up with court-appointed monitor Ken Cavanaugh, whom Streicher mocked and had de-pantsed during an incident last December.

"The first time, I was supposed to go in a ride-a-long with the Chief, " said Cavanaugh. "But he pulled the old 'Just wait here, and I'll pull the car from around back' routine, and took off. Reeeeaaaal funny, I thought."

But the issue came to a head a few days later, as described by witnesses.

Streicher: Are you still here?

Cavanaugh: Of course I'm still here. I'm a federally appointed police monitor. You have to cooperate with me.

Streicher: Monitor this!

(Streicher throws donut at Cavanaugh. Assistant Chief Richard Janke walks up behind him, and pulls his pants down.)

When asked how the two officers would be disciplined, Lemmie replied: "Well, I sat them down, and now we have an understanding. I told them, 'What you did was very bad. Next time you'll both be in big trouble! This time, I really mean it!'"

Cavanaugh was assigned to monitor the Police Department's operations as a result of the Collaborative Agreement formed in the months following the April 2001 riots. A U.S. District Judge may place the Department under consent decree if it's found that the Department was in violation of the Collaborative.
